The former president of the LREM group in the National Assembly Gilles Le Gendre was re-elected in the second constituency of Paris with 63.39% of the vote. He was opposed to Marine Rosset, of Nupes, who obtained 36.61%.

11:29 p.m. – Manuel Bompard elected in the Bouches-du-Rhône

Manuel Bompard was elected deputy in the fourth constituency of Bouches-du-Rhône this Sunday evening, with 73.92% of the vote. He beat the candidate of Ensemble Najas Akodad and thus takes over the electoral stronghold of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

11:27 p.m. – Lionel Tivoli, long-time RN activist, elected in the Alpes-Maritimes

A member of the far-right party since he was 18, Lionel Tivoli, 34, has steadily climbed the ranks of the National Rally to become deputy for the 2nd constituency of the Alpes-Maritimes by beating the outgoing Together. Municipal councilor of Vallauris Golfe-Juan, this director of a recruitment consulting company also sits on the Provence-Alpes-Côtes d’Azur regional council where he is a member of the Training and Employment Policy Commission. Arrived with a very slight lead in the first round (23.90% against 23.67%), Mr. Tivoli won Sunday with 51.65% of the vote.

11:25 p.m. – Prisca Thevenot, LREM spokesperson, arrives at the Assembly

Prisca Thevenot, spokesperson for La République en Marche, easily entered the Palais-Bourbon by winning Sunday in the 8th district of Hauts-de-Seine. At 37, she will thus join on the benches of the National Assembly Maud Bregeon, another spokesperson for the presidential majority, also elected deputy for the first time on Sunday in Hauts-de-Seine. Invested in place of outgoing LREM deputy Jacques Maire, Prisca Thevenot had no difficulty winning in this traditionally right-wing constituency (Chaville, Marnes-la-Coquette, Meudon, Sèvres, Vaucresson and Ville-d’Avray) .

In 2017, she was a candidate in the constituency where Stains, the town of her childhood, is located in Seine-Saint-Denis. She had been beaten in the second round by the elected PCF Marie-George Buffet. A former consultant and entrepreneur, this daughter of Mauritian immigrants has also been regional councilor for Île-de-France since last year.

11:25 p.m. – Wave Nupes on the Seine-Saint-Denis, which wins the 12 seats of the department

The left-wing Nupes alliance was a hit on Sunday in the second round of the legislative elections in Seine-Saint-Denis, winning the 12 seats of deputies in this popular Ile-de-France department. In this emblematic department of the former “red suburb”, the left already held seven constituencies in the outgoing legislature. The coalition carried out this “strike” by sweeping in its path the three outgoing LREM deputies, an LR deputy and the president of the UDI Jean-Christophe Lagarde.

11:15 p.m. – Emmanuel Macron, “serene”, reflects on the follow-up

Emmanuel Macron was at the Élysée on Sunday evening, as for every election night. Around him: leaders of the majority, a few advisers. In all, about twenty relatives. His ministers Clément Beaune and Stanislas Guerini, who managed to save their skins by winning their election in Paris, have passed a head. “The president has worked. He is calm and is thinking about the future”, eludes one of his followers. Bitter about the defeat of Richard Ferrand and Christophe Castaner, whom he contacted in the evening. For the rest, “he is determined to act in the interest of French men and women. Watchword: humility and concentration”, we confide.

“The results are disappointing,” concedes a relative, who hastens to add: “The voters have placed the presidential majority in the lead for the fourth consecutive time.” “There is a need to revitalize, to give meaning to the democratic debate. The vote of the extremes reflects a fatigue of the French which validates their desire to set up a new method, namely the CNR, the cross-party commission on institutions” , defends an adviser. Understand: the defeat on Sunday evening would have nothing to do with the presidential project, “otherwise there would have been cohabitation”. At this stage, no expression of the Head of State is on the agenda. From Monday morning, he will “work and consult”, in particular with a view to forming “the majority of action” that Elisabeth Borne has called for. He will also have to consider the composition of his government, since three ministers were beaten on Sunday and will have to leave their posts.

11:14 p.m. – The ecologist Julien Bayou elected in Paris

Julien Bayou was elected in the fifth constituency of Paris with 58.05% of the vote, against the candidate of the presidential majority Élise Fajgeles (41.95%), according to the final results of the Ministry of the Interior.

11:13 p.m. – Olivia Grégoire elected deputy in Paris

Olivia Grégoire was elected deputy for the 12th district of Paris this Sunday evening, with 68.51% of the vote. The new government spokeswoman defeated the Nupes candidate Céline Malaisé (31.49%) and should thus retain her position in the government.

11:05 p.m. – VIDEO. Maid Rachel Keke elected

Rachel Keke, trade unionist and figure in the struggle of the Ibis Batignolles strikers, won the second round of legislative elections on Sunday with 50.3% of the vote against the candidate Together, the former Minister of Sports, Roxana Maracineanu. Invested by the Nupes, she became the first chambermaid to become a deputy in France.

10:50 p.m. – The editorial by Sébastien Le Fol – The explosive lessons of the legislative elections
