According to the lists of nominated candidates published by the three parties (Renaissance, Horizons, MoDem) on Sunday evening, the majority will not present any in the constituencies of outgoing LR deputies Michèle Tabarot, Marie-Christine Dalloz, Virginie Duby-Muller, Émilie Bonnivard, Nicolas Forissier and Julien Dive.
Agreements have also been made at the local level. In Hauts-de-Seine, the department of election of Gabriel Attal, there will be no candidate in the constituency of the outgoing MoDem deputy Jean-Louis Bourlanges, who is not running, and the majority supports the LR Jean-Didier Berger (LR). She will also not present a candidate against LR deputy Philippe Juvin.
On the left, the macronie did not present a candidate on Sunday evening against the PS Jérôme Guedj, who is representing himself in Essonne without the agreement of the “New Popular Front”. There is also no majority candidate posted in the constituencies of outgoing PS deputies Dominique Potier or Cécile Untermaier. Furthermore, François Hollande, who created a surprise by announcing his candidacy in Corrèze on Saturday, does not have a majority candidate facing him either.
Hiccups also among the Macronists
As for the independent Liot group, which initiated a motion of censure against the government at the time of the pension reform, the majority did not post candidates on Sunday evening in the constituencies of outgoing deputies Bertrand Pancher, Charles de Courson, Benjamin Saint-Huile, Christophe Naegelen, Martine Froger and even Pierre Morel-A-L’Huissier. Although taken by surprise by the dissolution announced last Sunday by Emmanuel Macron, the majority of outgoing Renaissance, MoDem and Horizons deputies are returning for a new mandate.
On the Renaissance side, in Paris, Gilles Le Gendre was not reinvested, the party preferring Jean Laussucq, LR councilor of Paris, elected in the 7th arrondissement of which Rachida Dati is the mayor. Mr. Le Gendre, who was president of the Macronist group in the Assembly from 2018 to 2020, is running without a label. In Boulogne-Billancourt (Hauts-de-Seine), Stéphane Séjourné, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Secretary General of Renaissance, recovers the constituency of Emmanuel Pellerin.
