WILLIAM PELTIER. Vice-president of Reconquête!, Guillaume Peltier was a candidate in the legislative elections in Loir-Et-Cher. Present on the set of TF1, he learned of his defeat live. Numbers.
[Mis à jour le 12 juin 2022 à 21h20] Guillaume Peltier will not have created a surprise during these 2022 legislative elections. The candidate of the Reconquête! was the outgoing candidate for the second constituency of Loir-et-Cher. However, with only 14% of the votes obtained this Sunday, June 12, 2022, the former deputy will not be present in the second round. However, he learned of his defeat live on the TF1 set. It was announced to him by the presenter Gilles Bouleau. “You always have to accept defeat, I chose the panache of convictions rather than the comfort of a career,” he said.
Guillaume Peltier lost to RN candidate Roger Chudeau (24.04%), Ensemble representative Emmanuelle Chaplault (20.28%) and LR candidate Pascal Bioulac (17.28%). Elected in 2017 in the 2nd constituency of Loir-et-Cher, Guillaume Peltier was then invested by Les Républicains. However, the situation has changed for this 2022 election, since Guillaume Peltier is now included in the party of Eric Zemmour. “I measure that in the middle of the storm for our camp as for our homeland, I engage in a difficult fight but I know above all that the courage of the risk is worth so much more than the risks of a failure whose destinies are marked out”, confided Guillaume Peltier to the FigaroFriday, May 20, announcing his candidacy.
But nothing to discourage Guillaume Peltier: “At a time when, so courageously, Eric Zemmour is committing himself to the campaign, where nearly 1,600 of ours, candidates, alternates and representatives, are committing to carry our colors, I too could only lead by example“, explained the vice-president of Reconquête to the Figaro. In 2017, he won this constituency in the second round, nearly eight points ahead of Jean-Luc Brault, LREM candidate.
