The National Rally is in the lead in the 3rd and 6th constituencies, those of Hennebont and Pontivy. It is present in the second round in all the constituencies of the department.

The National Rally came out on top in Morbihan in two constituencies, where the surge in participation was significant, with 41.3% at 5 p.m., 24 points better than in 2022.

Jordan Bardella’s party comes first in the 3rd constituency (Pontivy) and the 6th constituency (Hennebont). He comes in second position in the 1st (Vannes, Sarzeau) and he is in the second round in all the constituencies.

The senator and regional councilor PS of Morbihan, Simon Uzenat, was very clear on the instructions for the second round: “Il We must ensure that there are as few RN deputies as possible elected in the second round. If there is a candidate from the New Popular Party who is in third place and who puts RN candidates in a position to be elected, obviously he will withdraw, that’s clear. The issue is the defense of the republic“.

The National Rally came in second position with 31.5% of the votes. Defeated, Rozenn Guégan of Horizons and Léna Le Floch (NFP) obtained respectively 15.5% and 14.6% of the votes.

“What I see, once again, is that the territories are forgotten, and I think that there is one thing that we have not yet tried in France, which is to give power to local authorities, to give power to the territory and I think that is what we really need to do.” declared Paul Molac, facing his opponents who also claim to be rural.

The outgoing regionalist deputy, Paul Molac, was active in the National Assembly. He notably worked, within the LIOT group, for the recognition of regional languages ​​including Breton. He is seeking a third term, still under a regionalist label, with however a possibility of scattering votes on the left, with a candidate for the New Popular Front Lhéa Le Flecher, and an environmentalist candidate, Khaled Mamar.

5th constituency – Ploemeur-Lorient. Triangular in view

Damien Girard, for the New Popular Front, came in first with 35.56% of the votes, ahead of Lysiane Métayer (Renaissance) who obtained 34.6% of the votes. The National Rally qualified for the second round by obtaining 27.90% of the 5,145 ballots cast.

the environmentalist candidate, on the France 3 Bretagne platform, hopes to broaden his electorate during the second round on July 7. “I am a local elected official, established for years, who hears anger, who knows what communities need” he pleaded. “The Republic on the Move cannot be an answer since it has been the stepping stone of the extreme right.“.

In this constituency where Lysiane Métayer, sponsored by Jean-Yves Le Drian, won by a narrow margin in 2022 (51.35% of the vote), “there is a possibility of switching” estimates political scientist Thomas Frinaut. We find Damien Girard for the New Popular Front, already in the second round in 2022 for Nupes.
This constituency has only four candidates, with the National Rally which came first in the European elections.
“This means that there is almost a three-way race from the first round, in other words that there will most likely be a three-way race in the second round.” estimates Thomas Frinaut.

Four candidates were running in this constituency:

• Lysiane MÉTAYER – Ensemble – Renaissance – outgoing
• Damien GIRARD – New Popular Front
• Aurélie LE GOFF – National gathering
• Blandine PIERRON – Workers’ struggle

6th constituency – Hennebont. The National Rally in the lead

Nathalie Guihot-Vieira, of the National Rally, comes in first with 34.7% of the votes, ahead of Jean-Michel Jacques, the outgoing deputy, who obtains 33.1% of the votes.
Jean-Michel Baudry (NFP), already present in 2022, obtains 23.8% of the votes. “We will not be able to maintain ourselves, so we will follow Mr. Mélenchon’s instructions and withdraw, so as not to leave a single vote to the RN.” did he declare.

Daniel Barach, Les Républicains, only obtained 5.4% of the votes and will not be in the second round.

It was in this constituency that the National Rally achieved its best score in 2022, with 21.6% of the vote.There is no doubt“that the outgoing deputy, Jean-Michel Jacques,”finds himself from the 1st round in a duel or a triangular with the RN” estimates Thomas Frinaut.
