From Gabriel Attal to Gérald Darmanin, via Agnès Pannier-Runacher or Stanislas Guerini, discover the government ministers who could run in the second round of the 2024 legislative elections.
Among the 24 ministers and deputy ministers of Emmanuel Macron’s government who were running for a mandate as MP, none managed to cross the 50% mark in this first round of the legislative elections on Sunday, June 30, 2024. However, several of them had won the 2022 legislative elections in their constituency. It seems that the government’s record has largely harmed them in this new election.
Prime Minister Gabriel Attal won 43.9% of the vote in his stronghold of Hauts-de-Seine, compared to 48.1% in the first round of the 2022 legislative elections. In the second round of the legislative elections, he will have to face the socialist candidate of the New Popular Front Cécile Soubelet, who won 35.5% of the vote. Qualified for the second round or defeated in the first round, discover below the results of the ministers candidates in the first round of the early legislative elections of 2024:
