Here are the results of the first round of the overseas legislative elections.
• Guadeloupe
The outgoing deputies came out on top in all four constituencies, even though the far right made a breakthrough with two candidates qualified for the second round: Laurent Petit and Rody Tolassy qualified with 17.30% and 25.90% of the vote respectively.
In the 1st and 4th constituency, the second round will pit two outgoing deputies, invested by Liot and by the NFP, against an LFI candidate and a candidate from the presidential majority.
• Martinique
The outgoing deputy Jean-Philippe Nilor (NFP) is in the lead in the 4th constituency with 63.18% of the votes but, failing to have been able to cross the bar of 25% of registered voters, he will be forced into a second round against a candidate of the RN, a first.
• New Caledonia
The loyalist deputy Nicolas Metzdorf, rapporteur of the bill on the unfreezing of the electoral body which provoked the anger of the separatists, came first in the 1st constituency (39.81%). He will face in the second round the independentist Omayra Naisseline, member of the Caledonian Union (36.34%).
In the 2nd constituency, the pro-independence candidate Emmanuel Tjibaou, one of the sons of the Kanak leader Jean-Marie Tjibaou, assassinated in 1989, came out on top with 44.06% of the vote. He will face the non-independence candidate Alcide Ponga, local president of the Republicans-LR (36.18%) in the second round.
• Guyana
The two outgoing deputies invested by the New Popular Front in the two constituencies of Guyana are largely in the lead with respectively 62.78% and 60.21% of the votes. But, failing to reach 25% of the registered voters to win in the first round, they will face next Sunday two independent candidates.
• Polynesia
Moerani Frébault, center-right autonomist candidate, won with 54% of the votes in the first round in the 1st constituency, beating the outgoing independence MP Tematai Le Gayic (35%). In the 2nd constituency, the autonomist Nicole Sanquer came first (49%). In the 3rd, the outgoing independentist Mereana Reid Arbelot won.
