After the National Rally and the presidential majority, the Left united around the “Popular Front” nominated its candidates.
On the first constituency, Charles Menard. Two years ago, Insoumis-Nupes Charles Ménard collected 8,731 votes. However, this was insufficient to qualify for the second round, presenting an RN/Renaissance duel. It remains to be noted that in the European elections of June 9, it was rebellious France which arrived behind the RN with 6,032 votes against 17,552 votes for the far Right. Renaissance placed third with 5,087 votes. In fourth position, it is PS/Place publique which recorded 5,027 votes, 1,577 for the environmentalists and 1,210 for the communists.
On the second, it is the socialist Katy Guyot who goes into battle. A difficult fight during which, two years earlier, the Insoumise-Nupes candidate Coralie Ghirardi had failed to reach the second round. Less than a week ago, LFI came in fourth position, behind the RN, Renaissance and the PS with 4,013 votes or 7.64%. His opponents having collected: 24,390 votes for the RN; 5,678 for Renaissance and 5,361 for the Socialist Party/Place publique. La France insoumise occupies fourth place with 4,013 votes, the environmentalists collect 1,696 votes and 1,081 for the communists.
On the third, it is the candidate of the Union of the Left in the last legislative elections Sabine Oromi who will be in the battle. Two years ago, the PCF-Nupes candidate was unable to qualify for the second round, collecting 9,474 votes. On June 9 for the European elections, it was the PS/Place publique list which came at the head of the Left, in third position, behind the National Rally and Renaissance. Raphaël Glucksmann collected 6,755 votes followed by La France insoumise and its 3,757 votes, environmentalists and their 1,989 votes and the PCF with their 1,126 votes.
On the fourth, the former federal leader of the PS Arnaud Bord is back. In the 2022 Legislative Elections, the PS-Nupes candidate managed to reach the second round with 11,870 votes. In the European elections, the PS/Place publique came in second place with 5,943 votes followed by Renaissance with 5,148 votes; LFI with 4,008 votes; The Communist Party recorded 2,438 votes and 1,827 for the environmentalists.
On the fifth, it is naturally the outgoing deputy Michel Sala who is reappointed. Former mayor of Saint-Félix-de-Pallières, Insoumis won in 2022. In the first round, the union of the Left collected 16,451 votes or 33.48% of voters. Among Europeans, however, it was the PS/Place Publique list which came second after the RN. The Socialists received 7,517 votes, or 13% of voters. They were followed by the Renaissance list with 5,635 votes and LFI with 5,559 votes. Will Michel Sala manage to keep his circo? Response on June 30 and July 7.
On the sixth, surprise, it is the ecologist Béatrice Leccia who is invested. And not the Nîmes Nicolas Cadène, dismissed. Two years ago in the Legislative elections, the environmentalist candidate reached the second round with 9,582 votes ahead of the outgoing deputy – who this time is not running – Philippe Berta. In the European elections, the RN came first with 16,000 votes. Marine Le Pen’s party recorded its lowest score here compared to the other constituencies. The PS/Place publique came second with 6,273 votes, followed by Renaissance (5,483 votes); La France insoumise (4,316 votes); Environmentalists (2,145 votes); and the Communists (1,162 votes). Béatrice Leccia’s replacement could be the rebellious Nicolas Pellegrini.
