He was nominated by the NUPES in Villiers-le-Bel in the 8th constituency of Val-d'Oise, where he beat François Pupponi in the first round with more than 37% of the vote against 24%.

On November 3, 2022, during a question session to the government at the National Assembly, while Deputy Bilongo was addressing the subject of the distribution of migrants sailing on the Ocean Viking, he was interrupted by the National Rally deputy Grégoire de Fournas, who said: "Let him go back to Africa", according to the version retained by the editors of the debates and available in the minutes of the session. These remarks provoked indignation in the Chamber and a temporary suspension of the sitting by Yaël Braun-Pivet, President of the Assembly.
