Jordan Duflot, 27, is a departmental youth delegate for the National Rally of the Ardennes and a management executive in a social structure.
He was chosen to represent his party after the resignation of Flavien Termet, the youngest member of the National Assembly who announced in September, two months after his election, his resignation “for personal medical reasons”.
“I am unable to fully exercise this mandate,” Flavien Termet wrote in a press release, claiming to be “no longer able to fight body and soul” and to make “this painful decision” because he is “forced” to do so.
Coming from Brittany, where he was born and studied, this young RN employee took over in July the 1st constituency of the Ardennes conquered two years earlier by Lionel Vuibert who then ran under the Ensemble label.
Lionel Vuibert, 56, general director of the training centers of the Union of Metallurgical Industries and Trades of Champagne-Ardenne (UIMM) and son of a former deputy of the department, is also departmental advisor.
