The one who was head of the list for the Chamber in Hainaut received only 5,344 preference votes. He therefore lost his seat as federal deputy. After the Ecolo debacle, Jean-Marc Nollet announced that he was resigning from the presidency of the party, together with the other co-president of the Greens, Rajae Maouane. “A page turns. A new generation will take responsibility”he said on La Première.
Georges Gilkinet
Deputy Prime and Federal Minister in charge of Mobility Georges Gilkinet was head of the list for the Chamber in Namur. With 4,329 preferred votes, he was not re-elected and lost the seat of federal deputy that he occupied before becoming a minister. Ecolo’s poor score did not allow the party to win any elected official in Namur. The seat thus lost by the Greens was recovered by the MR.

Samuel Cogolati
Second on the list in Liège for the Chamber behind Sarah Schlitz, Samuel Cogolati collected 5,087 preference votes and thus lost his seat as a deputy. Sarah Schlitz will therefore be the only Green elected official in the constituency, with 11,359 preference votes. Other Green deputies also lost their seats, such as Simon Moutquin in the Chamber or Gilles Vanden Burre, head of the Green group in the Brussels parliament.
Marie-Colline Leroy
The one who succeeded Sarah Schlitz after her resignation from the post of Secretary of State for Gender Equality, Equal Opportunities and Diversity was second on the Ecolo list for the Chamber in Hainaut, behind Jean-Marc Nollet . Neither was re-elected. Marie-Colline Leroy therefore loses her federal seat, with only 4,805 preferred votes.

Sophie Rohonyi
Ecolo is not the only party to experience a significant electoral setback. In Brussels, Défi fell heavily, taking with it its president François De Smet, who resigned from office on Monday. The amaranth party won only one seat in the House. Federal MP Sophie Rohonyi, who was second on the list behind François De Smet, is paying the price. She received 5,490 preference votes and lost her seat.
John Pitseys
He was head of the Ecolo group in the Brussels parliament. With 1,065 preference votes, John Pitseys lost his seat as Brussels deputy. His eighth place on the Brussels regional list of Écolo did not allow him to be re-elected. In Brussels, the French-speaking Greens lost 8 seats, going from 15 to 7 seats in the regional parliament. In the House, they go from 13 to 3 seats. In Wallonia, they go from 12 to 5 seats.

Jean-Charles Luperto
The mayor of Sambreville was second on the regional PS list in Namur, behind Eliane Tillieux. Jean-Charles Luperto collected 8,557 preferred votes, an insufficient score to maintain his seat in the Walloon parliament. The Socialist Party lost ground in Wallonia, becoming the second French-speaking party, behind the MR. Other deputies have fallen by the wayside, like Daniel Senesael.
Marino Keulen
Among the Flemish parties, it is the Open VLD, the party of outgoing Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, which suffers the heaviest defeat. Marino Keulen, Flemish regional deputy and former Flemish minister, falls with his party. Second on the list for the Flemish parliament in Limburg behind Lydia Peeters, he received 8,704 preference votes and thus lost his seat.
