In a ballot against the RN-LR candidate, the incumbent Jean-François Rousset reacted to the withdrawal, in his favor, of the candidate of the New Popular Front, Richard Bouigue.
“Given the RN figures, Richard Bouigue’s decision is very positive.” “Of good quality”continues the outgoing Renaissance candidate Jean-François Rousset who, with the risk of a three-way race now behind him, could mathematically benefit from a transfer of votes likely to ensure his victory on the evening of June 7, 2024.
Credited with 32.45% of the votes behind the RN-LR supporter Pierre-Antoine Fèvre (35.45%), the Renaissance candidate should be able to take advantage of the score of the PS candidate of the New Popular Front who collected 28.81% of the votes on Sunday.
“In an identical situation, I would have had the same reaction”continues the outgoing one who has always been “quite clear” on his intentions for the second round in favor of “of a candidate who shares the same Republican traditions.”

“I present myself as the candidate of the field. The one of rurality, continues the native of Montlaur, strengthened in his stronghold with 46% of the votes ahead of Richard Bouigue, who now expects the majority candidate to act as a unifier. “We are not expecting a campaign from the Macronist candidate but from the Republican Front candidate.”
A case clearly heard by Jean-François Rousset, eager to deconstruct “the inconsistencies of the extreme right.” “The RN program is an onion. Every day, it peels and in the end, there are only its eyes to cry, because it is not serious, it is not credible, he paraphrases. He who sees in this RN wave “the call of rurality” who was able “feeling neglected.”
