As a new member of the PCPD he was recruited by the central party office to stand as a senator contender for the southernmost constituency in Mothar, the parties least represented County. In the elections of 2346 he became senator for the district and became an instant hit within the party. Other PCPD senators came to know him as "leo the Lion" due to his hardline policies on civil liberties and privatisation.
