MP for the first constituency of Deux-Sèvres since 2022 and from the team of Jérôme Baloge, mayor of Niort, Bastien Marchive created a surprise on Sunday, June 30, by coming out on top in the first round with more than 40% of the vote. He distanced himself from Emmanuel Macron the day after the dissolution, and is running as an independent candidate from the center.
Regional councillor of Nouvelle-Aquitaine and first federal secretary of the Socialist Party of Deux-Sèvres, Nathalie Lanzi, thought she could impose herself in this constituency long anchored on the left. Chosen to carry the colours of the New Popular Front, she obtained 32.8% of the votes. She is running in the second round as the bearer of the “only alternative to the RN”.
Living in Vasles, near Parthenay, and working as a service agent in a cleaning company, Dorothée Champeau represents the National Rally in Niortais. She took advantage of the momentum of the European elections to make a breakthrough in the first round of the legislative elections, with 24.63% in the constituency least favorable to the extreme right.
The debate will be broadcast on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, from 6 p.m., on lanr.fr
