Rémi Marie Grégoire Saint-Jean, duc de Wampley OSCG COA CRA CE (born May 30, 1952) is an Aininian politician and the sixth and current President of the Council of Esquarium. He previously served as Commissioner for International Trade of the Esquarian Community from 2010 to 2014, President of Ainin between 2002 and 2010, and mayor of Fort-Françilien, Risagne between 1984 and 1996. He is a member of the Social Democratic Party.
Born into Risagne's aristocratic Wampley family, he attended the University of Huimont from where he graduated with a baccalaureate in Nautasian studies. He then worked as a manager at the Fort-Françilien Grand Champion hotel and was elected president of the Southern Risagne Chamber of Commerce. At age 34, he became the youngest mayor of Fort-Françilien in an uncontested election. He attained national prominence in the aftermath of the assassination of Mohammed el-Faswa on the steps of the city's art museum, when he defused tensions and ensured that the city was one of the few that did not experience significant rioting.
In 1995, he became General Secretary of the Social Democratic Party and laid down the campaign infrastructure that allowed the party to win a landslide in the 2002 election. He was elected President of Ainin in the same year by the House of Censure, breaking with precedent and serving a powerful executive presidency. In 2010, after a poor electoral showing that required the Social Democrats to form a coalition government, he resigned to facilitate negotiations.
He then assumed a commission in the Esquarian Secretariat until 2014, when he became President of the Council of Esquarium.
