Olivier Falorni, who defeated Ségolène Royal in the 2012 legislative elections, came out on top everywhere in the first round in the 1re Charente-Maritime constituency, this Sunday June 30, 2024: the various left candidate exceeds 45% of votes cast, ahead of the union of the left and the RN. But he dominates in four out of five constituencies. In the 2e, Benoît Biteau, known in Deux-Sèvres as a figure of the anti-bassins, finished second behind the far-right candidate. But paradoxically, the Macronist candidate who came in third position asked him to withdraw!
