Bausch was first elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the 1989 legislative election. He resigned on 11 October 1992,[1] along with Jean Huss, under the Greens' agreed rotation system, allowing other candidates to serve as deputies. In the 1993 local elections, Bausch was elected to the communal council of Luxembourg City (starting 1 January 1994,[1] and he was returned to the Chamber at the following year's election. In 1999, Bausch finished second to Renée Wagener amongst Greens candidates in the Centre constituency, with those two being elected.[2]
In the most recent election, Bausch came top of the Greens' list by a comfortable distance on an improved result for the party (indeed, he finished fifth amongst all candidates), and was duly returned to the Chamber.[3] On 3 August 2004, Bausch also became leader of the Greens' group in the Chamber.[1] In the 2005 communal elections, the DP-CSV coalition in Luxembourg City broke down, clearing the way for a DP-Greens cabinet, under which Bausch was appointed échevin.[1]
