Elisabeth Borne, Prime Minister

The Prime Minister can breathe. Candidate in the 6th constituency of Calvados, Elisabeth Borne seems in a good position to win. The former Minister of Labour, who is appearing for the first time in the Normandy bocage, came first in the first round, according to the Ministry of the Interior. With 34.32% of the vote according to final results, she will face the candidate of Nupes (24.53%) in the second round. “Personally, I want to thank the inhabitants [de sa circonscription du Calvados] for putting me in the lead in this first lap”commented Elisabeth Borne on Sunday evening.

Gérald Darmanin is well ahead in this northern territory that he knows well, and which includes Tourcoing, a city of which he was elected mayor in 2014 and 2020. As a reminder, Vincent Ledoux, the outgoing Agir deputy, would be his deputy and could therefore recover the Minister’s seat in the Assembly in the event of victory.

Brigitte Bourguignon, health Minister

A good Sunday for the Minister of Health. Brigitte Bourguignon indeed came first in the 6th constituency of Pas-de-Calais, according to partial results. La Boulonnaise, who obtained 32.10% of the vote, will face Christine Engrand (30.33%), the candidate of the National Rally in this constituency in the second round.

Its anchoring and its notoriety inherited from its management of the Covid-19 epidemic seem to have borne fruit. In the event of victory in the second round, the new Minister in charge of Relations with Parliament will have to give way to his deputy.

Gabriel Attal, Minister of Public Accounts

While he could for a time believe in an election in the first round, the Minister of Public Accounts must submit to the second round in his 10th constituency of Hauts-de-Seine. “With approximately 47.5% of the vote, the voters of Issy, Vanves, Boulogne and Meudon placed me very clearly in the lead in this first round of the legislative elections”, tweeted the former government spokesperson.

Olivier Dussopt, who doesdebated with none of his opponents during the campaign, will face in the second round the Nupes candidate Christophe Goulouzelle, who came second with 23.58% of the vote.

He comes first with 31.97% of the vote and qualifies for the second round. Marc Fesneau is ahead of the candidate Nupes Reda Belkadi who obtains 24.31% of the vote. In a macronist territory, Marc Fesneau has a strong anchoring which had allowed him to be elected regional councilor in 2021.

Justine Benin, Secretary of State for the Sea

The Secretary of State for the Sea qualified for the second round in the 2nd constituency of Guadeloupe, obtaining 31.31% of the vote. Justine Benin is ahead of candidate Nupes Christian Baptiste by nearly four points (26.78%). Despite the 57% obtained by Jean-Luc Mélenchon on the island in the first round of the presidential election, Justine Benin finally seems not to have paid dearly for her “label” as candidate for the President of the Republic.
