in the first round, the RN in the lead according to the first results

At 8:30 p.m., Stéphanie Hibon-Arthuis, New Energy candidate, from the first constituency, obtained 4.49% of the votes cast. Only 76.24% of the votes had been counted. She will not give any voting instructions for the second round. “I could have gotten along with Guillaume Garot but he is linked to the extremes so it’s no. It’s complicated for me, these are two extremes”she explains.

On her score she analyzes: “The campaign is lightning and the national position of the Republicans gives this result. We have something to rebuild on the right to find our divide. Stop voting by default but by adhesion. »

Paule Veyre de Soras, candidate of the national rally in the first constituency: “I am delighted with my result. I did not imagine such a result.” She presented herself for the first time as head of the list in the legislative elections. In this constituency, a triangular shape is emerging with Guillaume Garot (Union of the Left) and Vincent Saulnier (UDI).

In the second constituency, Pierre-€lie Guyon (various right-wing candidate), does not wish to give voting instructions for the second round. He also has not indicated who he will vote for.

Candidates continue to arrive at the prefecture in Laval. Pierre-Elie Guyon, a miscellaneous right candidate in the second constituency, has also arrived.

The final results are known for all Laval offices in the first constituency. Florian Bercault, mayor, greets “initially, the strong participation of Laval citizens, with participation close to that of the 1997 legislative elections. This demonstrates that Laval residents have understood the issues of the election”.

The mayor then greets “the performance of the left-wing candidates, who came out on top in the two constituencies of Laval. And in particular a strong progression from Guillaume Garot obtaining more than 50% of the votes, that is more than 1842 votes compared to 2022”.

Latest observation from the mayor of Laval: “The RN is also dynamic. It goes from 8 to 20% in two years”in the first constituency. “It’s a big breakthrough. I call for the mobilization of all voters for the second round in order to block the far right. »

For the third constituency, Yannick Favennec, Horizons candidate and outgoing MP, chose to spend the evening with friends in Ernée, with his deputy Bruno Lestas, “to work immediately on the second round”.

In the second constituency, after a partial count of 75.54% of the municipalities, it is Jean-Michel Cadenas, RN candidate, who is in the lead with 35.26% of the votes cast. Géraldine Bannier, the outgoing MP, is currently in second position with 33.66%.
