2024 legislative elections
The die is cast. At the end of a crazy week of negotiations, alliances and dissidences which shook up the political landscape, the race against time to submit their candidacy ended on Sunday at 6 p.m. for candidates for the 2024 legislative elections in the 577 constituencies . The official campaign starts this Monday, June 17 and will end on the evening of Friday, June 28.
A week after the earthquake of dissolution, everything is now sealed after several days of great confusion, notably marked by the rallying of the leader of the Republicans Eric Ciotti to the National Rally. If the highly contested boss was not followed by the executives of his party – with the exception of a deputy and the president of the Young Republicans movement – he indicated that he had 62 candidates “of the gathering of the rights” supported by the RN.
LET’S GO !
After a week of twists and turns and confusion to urgently establish alliances and nominate candidates, the lightning campaign for the first round of the legislative elections on June 30 officially begins this Monday under high tension.
Since 6 p.m. Sunday, all candidates for one of the 577 deputy seats have been registered at the prefecture. Now time for field meetings, sending electoral propaganda and television spots.
The anti-Ciotti LR branch, which is trying to maintain its voice, has for its part invested “nearly 400 candidates”including Virgile Vanier in the Alpes-Maritimes against Eric Ciotti.
On the left, the New Popular Front managed to agree in a few days on a program and candidates, despite disagreements over certain candidates chosen by La France insoumise and the refusal to invest several historical figures critical of the party line. Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
The day after the surprise candidacy of former President François Hollande in Corrèze under the banner of the New Popular Front, former Prime Minister Lionel Jospin (1997 to 2002) also defended the new union, alone “dyke”according to him, capable of containing the far-right party.
