Legislative elections have sometimes narrowly elected deputies. Here are the 10 MPs who came very close to defeat.
An evening full of surprises. If on Sunday evening, some tenors of macronie were narrowly beaten, the suspense was total in many constituencies. The smallest victory took place in the 6th district of Haute-Garonne. To the west of Toulouse, the outgoing MP Ensemble Monique Iborra was re-elected with only three votes more than her competitor NUPES Fabien Jouve. In the 8th district of Seine-et-Marne, Hadrien Ghomi (Ensemble) also narrowly won (50.01%). Four votes separated the candidate in support of the presidential majority against the representative NUPES Arnaud Bonnet.
In Loiret too, Anthony Brosse (Ensemble) felt the breath of defeat in the back of his neck. With barely 11 more votes, Valentin Manent (RN) will not have gone far from integrating the benches of the National Assembly. Same thing in the 5th district of Essonne also where Paul Midy (Ensemble) beat the NUPES candidate Cédric Villani by 19 votes. The former candidate for mayor of Paris had left the ranks LREM to find the left where he came from.
Other candidates Together are in the list of the smallest victories. Fadila Khattabi rose from 65 votes in the 3rd constituency of Côte d’Or and Damien Adam was elected with 78 more votes in Seine-Maritime.
NUPES candidates were also narrowly elected. Jean-Marc Tellier was elected with a 71-vote lead in Pas-de-Calais, Elise Leboucher with 88 more votes in Sarthe and Inaki Echaniz passed through with an 89 gap over his competitor Ensemble Annick Trounday in the Pyrenees -Atlantic.
Finally, concerning the National Rally, it was Christine Engrand who created the surprise by winning the 6th constituency of Pas-de-Calais with 56 votes in advance. The loser is none other than the Minister of Health Brigitte Bourguignon. She will have to resign from her post in the government following this defeat.
