The French continue to sustain the democratic life of the country. After a first round having placed Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen as qualified candidates for the second, which is being held this Sunday April 24, 2022 – 26.4% national participation at 12 p.m. -, it will be necessary to go to the polls again in June next. For the legislative elections, several personalities are already in the running, such as comedian Gérald Dahan.
Indeed, the 48-year-old artist will try his luck from June 12 on the 3rd district of Charente-Maritimereports the site of South West. “The electoral committee of insubordinate France (LFI) formalized this Friday, April 22, in a press release signed by Rémy Catrou, municipal councilor of Saintes and leader of the party of Jean-Luc Mélenchon in Charente-Maritime, the candidacies of Gérald Dahan and Houria Ladjal for the legislative elections (June 12 and 19) in the 3rd district of Charente-Maritime (Saintes and Saint-Jean-d’Angély sector)“, can we read.
The famous comedian and impersonator, great trapper of stars and elected officials, will therefore be in the running under the France Insoumise banner. However, this is not the first time that he is a candidate for the party of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who came 3rd in the presidential election, since he had already tried his luck in 2017 but in Hauts-de-Seine. It was then Gabriel Attal, current government spokesman, who won. If, this time, he changes region and electoral land, it is quite simply because he has moved. “Gérald Dahan returned to live in his native region two years ago and works as a local cultural actor, in particular by ensuring the artistic direction of the Castel in Châteaubernard (Charente)“, add our colleagues.
The comedian is not the only known candidate for the next legislative elections since his colleague Laurent Baffie has also planned to propose his name to voters. The popular sniper, regular resident of Big heads of RTL, will be a candidate for the Animalist Party in the 3rd district of Paris.
