The overseas territories seem to have resisted the breakthrough of the National Rally in the first round of the legislative elections this Sunday, June 30. If the party with the flame managed to qualify candidates for the second round in Guadeloupe and, for the first time, in Martinique, these candidates should not a priori be elected deputies in the second round. Le Parisien invites you to discover the provisional results in Guyana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, New Caledonia, Polynesia and Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon. Those of Réunion and Mayotte should be announced in the evening.
Find on our dedicated pages the candidates in your constituency and, on June 30 from 8 p.m., the results of the first round of the legislative elections in Paris, Lyon, Marseille and throughout France.
Outgoing MPs in the lead in Guyana and Guadeloupe
According to the provisional results communicated by the prefecture of Guadeloupe, the RN did not place any candidate in the lead in the four constituencies of Guadeloupe. But two of its candidates, Laurent Petit and Rody Tolassy, are qualified for the second round in the 2nd and 3rd constituencies, with respectively 17.30% and 25.90% of the votes, far behind the two outgoing deputies of the New Christian Popular Front Baptiste (41.33%) and Liot Max Mathiasin (36.21%).
In the 1st and 4th constituencies, the second round will pit two outgoing deputies, respectively Olivier Serva (Liot) and a socialist candidate invested by the New Popular Front, Élie Califer, against an LFI candidate, Chantal Lérus, and a candidate of the presidential majority, Jennifer Linon. The turnout rate is up sharply with 33.56% compared to 25.31% during the previous election in 2022.
In Guyana, the two outgoing deputies invested by the New Popular Front, Jean-Victor Castor and Davy Rimane, come well ahead with 62.78% of the votes in the first and 60.21% in the second, without however managing to reach the 25% of those registered to win in the first round. Facing them, two candidates without a label, Boris Chong Sit and Sophie Charles, come far behind with respectively 16.11% and 25.49% of the votes. The participation rate rose to 32.5% compared to 26.7% in 2022.
In New Caledonia, loyalist-independence duels
The independent loyalist MP from New Caledonia, Nicolas Metzdorf, rapporteur of the bill on the thawing of the electoral body which provoked the anger of the separatists, came out on top. Candidate in the 1st constituency, mainly composed of Noumea, he obtained 39.81% of the votes, according to the provisional results communicated by the High Commission of the archipelago.
Next Sunday, he will face independentist Omayra Naisseline, member of the Caledonian Union, who obtained 36.34% of the votes in an election marked by a high turnout. The outgoing deputy, the moderate non-independence Philippe Dunoyer (Caledonia ensemble – Horizons), came in third place with 10.33% of the votes and was eliminated. The vote was closely followed throughout the archipelago, with a participation of 60.02% compared to 32.51% during the first round of the 2022 legislative elections.
In the second constituency, the independentist Emmanuel Tjibaou – one of the sons of Kanak leader Jean-Marie Tjibaou assassinated in 1989 – is in the lead with 44% of the votes, according to provisional results. He is followed by the non-independence Alcide Ponga, local president of the Republicans (36%).
In Polynesia, a deputy elected in the first round
The first member of parliament in the new legislature has been elected in Polynesia: Moerani Frébault, a non-registered center-right autonomist candidate, won with 54% of the vote in the first round in the archipelago’s first constituency, according to provisional results released Sunday by the High Commission. He only exceeded the threshold of 25% of registered voters required to be elected in the first round by 12 votes. This is the first time that a native of the Marquesas Islands will enter the National Assembly.
In Martinique, an RN-NFP duel in the second round
For the first time in Martinique, a candidate from the National Rally (RN) will contest the second round of the legislative elections, even if his score of less than 10% in the first round leaves little doubt about the outcome of the vote. According to the provisional results communicated on Sunday by the prefecture, Grégory Roy-Larentry, a 32-year-old liberal nurse, obtained 2,408 votes, or 9.88% of the votes cast in the fourth constituency (south), where the party had never crossed the 5% mark.
Facing him, the outgoing deputy Jean-Philippe Nilor (New Popular Front) prances in the lead with 63.18% of the votes, but without managing to cross the bar of 25% of those registered to win in the 1st round, due to notably low participation (30.54%).
In Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, the outgoing centre-right MP in the lead
Outgoing center-right MP Stéphane Lenormand is leading the first round of the legislative elections in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon. He obtained 43% of the votes according to provisional results. In second position with 17.56% of the votes, PS candidate Frédéric Beaumont is qualified for the second round. LFI candidate Marion Letournel obtained 14.88% of the votes and the RN, 10.59%.
