France’s youngest MP, Flavien Termet (RN), announced his resignation in a press release. He mentions “personal reasons, of a medical nature”. “I am unable to fully exercise this mandate,” he explains. “If I make this painful decision, it is because I am forced to do so. »
The 22-year-old MP had his moment of notoriety during the election of Yaël Braun-Pivet (Renaissance) as president of the National Assembly on July 18. In his capacity as the youngest member of the hemicycle, he was responsible for holding the ballot box to receive the vote of the deputies during the first round of this election. Many left-wing elected officials refused to shake his hand in his capacity as a representative of the National Rally. He had handed them his to everyone.
New partial legislative elections
There will therefore be new partial legislative elections in the first constituency of the Ardennes “within three months”, as provided for in article LO 178 of the Electoral Code. A deputy is replaced by his deputy in the event of death or if he accepts certain functions (such as that of minister). However, this is not the case in the event of resignation.
