After taking the five constituencies of Vendée in 2017, the candidates of the presidential majority resisted the strong push of the Nupes, the left alliance, and the National Rally, during these 2022 legislative elections. It retains four constituencies out of five. Three outgoing deputies are re-elected. Only Véronique Besse, the mayor of Les Herbiers and already a Villiériste deputy from 2005 to 2017, deprives the Macronists of the grand slam.
The fourth rocker to the right
In the department, for this second round, there were two duels between candidates of the presidential majority and the National Rally, two duels with candidates from Nupes and one with a candidate labeled miscellaneous rightVeronique Besse.
Véronique Besse returns to the National Assembly
The mayor of Les Herbiers recovers her post as deputy (she had decided not to run again in 2017 to favor her local mandates) thanks to her local roots in the face of an outgoing, Martine Leguille-Balloy, to whom she has repeatedly , criticized for being too often in Paris and not enough in Vendée. It remains to be seen in which group she will sit to the Assembly, since she intends to join one, she who has long been alongside Philippe De Villiers.
The RN dismissed
Elsewhere is bonus for outgoing deputies of the presidential majority. Stéphane Buchou in the third constituency Les Sables-Noirmoutier, and Pierre Henriet in that of southern Vendée, Luçon-Fontenay-le-Comte, were re-elected against two candidates from the National Rally of Marine Le Pen and quite widely with respectively 61.48% of the votes and 60.64%.
The Nupes also
The gap is narrower in the two duels which opposed candidates of the presidential majority to those of Nupes, the two constituencies straddling La Roche-sur-Yon. Philippe Latombe, the outgoing Modem deputy, was re-elected in the first, that which goes from Challans to Essarts, with 56.74% of the vote against the Regional Ecologist Councilor Lucie Etonno.
In the second, La Roche sud-Talmont, it is not the outgoing deputy who is re-elected since Patrick Loiseau had not had the nomination of the Macronists, but she remains in the camp of the presidential majority since it is her winning candidate. Béatrice Bellamy, municipal councilor in La Roche-sur-Yon, who presented herself under the LR label in the 2017 legislative elections won against the Nupes candidate, Nicolas Hélary, with 58.42% of the vote.
