On Sunday June 30, the results of the first round vote will qualify all the candidates having received at least 12.5% of the voters’ votes; the vast majority of them will be two in number. The second round will give rise to intense discussions for vote carryovers, with either new alliances or calls for votes, which could prove decisive. Find candidates near you with our map:
The United Left only presents one candidate per constituency, with a few exceptions where a dissident candidate has decided to remain. On the right, the alliances were concluded more locally: the branch of LR which followed Eric Ciotti in his rapprochement with the party of Jordan Bardella presents 62 candidates supported by the RN. The historic LR branch has concluded some local arrangements with the presidential majority, notably in Hauts-de-Seine. Finally, the presidential majority decided not to nominate candidates in the face of around twenty outgoing deputies, LR, socialists or the LIOT group.

11:16 – The NFP candidate, file S, will not withdraw his application
Candidate for the left alliance in the legislative elections in Vaucluse, the spokesperson and eminent member of the anti-fascist movement La Jeune Garde, Raphaël Arnault, registered S, wished yesterday to defuse the numerous attacks against him. On BFMTV, he also indicated that he “certainly did not” intend to withdraw his candidacy despite the “outpouring of hatred” of which he is the victim.
10:49 – Laurent Wauquiez (LR) in difficulty in Haute-Loire?
The president of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region Laurent Wauquiez is a candidate in the 1st constituency of Haute-Loire. If Nicolas Sarkozy had already been elected in this constituency, it is no longer as attached to the Republicans as before. In the European elections, it was the RN which came first with almost 40% of the votes, far ahead of LR, in fourth position (10% of the votes). The task therefore promises to be difficult for the regional president and former deputy.
10:25 – Jean-Philippe Tanguy (RN) recognizes the existence of “residual anti-Semitism”
After Libération spotted the anti-Semitic message of one of the RN candidates in the legislative elections, the outgoing deputy and candidate in the 4th constituency of the Somme Jean-Philippe Tanguy recognized this Thursday morning on BFMTV that “residual anti-Semitism” could exist , on the other hand, according to him, it comes “from the extreme right or from terrible prejudices”. In question, a 2018 message from RN candidate in Morbihan Joseph Martin, affirming that “the gas (had) brought justice to the victims of the Shoah”. The Lepenist party has since withdrawn its support for the candidate.
10:09 – Manuel Bompard (NFP) facing Bardella and Attal during a debate
Candidate in the 4th constituency of Bouches-du-Rhône, the Coordinator of La France Insoumise Manuel Bompard was nominated by the New Popular Front. He will participate in the big debate organized by TF1 on June 25 against Jordan Bardella and Gabriel Attal.
A few hours after the announcement of the dissolution of the National Assembly, the Socialist Party, the Communist Party, Europe Ecologie Les Verts, La France insoumise, Place publique and the environmentalist pole came together to build an alliance. In a few days, the left-wing groups divided the constituencies in such a way as to present single candidates: 229 for La France insoumise, 175 for the Socialist Party/Place publique, 92 for the ecologists and their allies, 50 for the communists.
On the quota of La France insoumise, Adrien Quatennens finally announced that he was abandoning his candidacy in the North. LFI invested in his place Aurélien Le Coq, national co-host of Jeunes insoumis. Furthermore, the non-reinvestment of several deputies caused controversy: Alexis Corbière (Seine-Saint-Denis), Raquel Garrido (Seine-et-Marne), Danielle Simonnet (Paris), Frédéric Mathieu (Ille-et-Vilaine) and Hendrik Davi (Bouches-du-Rhône). On the other hand, the deputy for Somme François Ruffin is a candidate for re-election, as is the deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis Clémentine Autain. LFI has also decided to invest NPA activist Philippe Poutou in the 1st constituency of Aude.
On the socialist side, the candidacy of François Hollande caused a reaction: the former President of the Republic was invested in the 1st constituency of Corrèze, his stronghold. Another surprising candidacy: Emmanuel Macron’s former Minister of Health, Aurélien Rousseau, was nominated by Place publique in the 7th constituency of Yvelines. The latter left the government following the vote on the immigration law. On the communist side, the young Léon Deffontaines, head of the list defeated in the European elections, is a candidate in the 3rd constituency of the Somme. The boss of the PCF, Fabien Roussel, is a candidate for re-election in the North. On the EELV side, the party’s national secretary, Marine Tondelier, is running as Samira Laal’s substitute in the 11th constituency of Pas-de-Calais.
Jordan Bardella’s party reinvested its outgoing deputies: Marine Le Pen in Pas-de-Calais (11th), Jean-Pihlippe Tanguy in the Somme (4th) and Sébastien Chenu in the Nord (19th). The National Rally also concluded an alliance with a minority branch of LR which followed its president Eric Ciotti: the deputy for the 1st constituency of Alpes-Maritimes will therefore not have an RN candidate facing him. He was followed in his alliance by another deputy from the department, Christelle d’Intorni, as well as by the president of the Young Republicans, Guilhem Carayon, who is running in Tarn. The outgoing deputy Meyer Habib, in the 8th constituency of French people established outside France, is also following the movement. Also note the candidacy of several CNews columnists under this double nomination: Guillaume Bigot, Sébastien Laye, Philippe Fontana and Charles Prats. A former Macronist MP, Typhanie Degois, also joined the alliance and is running in Savoie.
The majority of outgoing LR deputies, however, refused the alliance with the RN: the historic branch of the party announced early this Monday that it had invested “nearly 400 candidates in 93 departments and in the constituencies of French people abroad”. The general secretary of the party is naturally running for re-election in Doubs, while the outgoing boss of LR deputies Olivier Marleix is representing himself in the 2nd constituency of Eure-et-Loir.
Renaissance, Horizons and the MoDem unsurprisingly reinvest most of their outgoing deputies. But in accordance with announcements made by the executive, the presidential majority does not present candidates against certain outgoing deputies from other camps, deemed “constructive” or in the “Republican arc”. This is the case for around twenty deputies from LR, Liot or the PS. Thus, no “Together for the Republic” candidate was nominated against François Hollande in Corrèze. In addition, some agreements have been reached with LR at the local level: in Hauts-de-Seine, the right and the Macronists present unique candidates in each constituency. Similar agreements in Loire-Atlantique and Marseille for example.
Furthermore, several members and former members of the government are candidates in these legislative elections: Prime Minister Gabriel Attal is running in the 10th constituency of Hauts-de-Seine, his predecessor Elisabeth Borne in the 6th of Calvados. Gérald Darmanin candidate in the 10th of the North, Olivier Véran in the 1st of Isère, Stéphane Séjourné in the 9th of Paris. On the other hand, the former Minister of Solidarity Damien Abad, indicted for attempted rape in May, did not receive the nomination of the presidential majority to be a candidate for his re-election in Ain.
The results of the candidates in previous legislative elections
One of the characteristics of these 2024 legislative elections is the very large number of outgoing deputies: 553 current deputies, out of 577, are candidates again on June 30. 23 ministers, including Gabriel Attal, elected under their name in 2022 and 2 ministers who have never sought a deputy mandate: Stéphane Séjourné, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Minister of Agriculture. This election is therefore overall a return match in many constituencies, with winners putting their mandate back into play only 2 years after their election. It is therefore very useful to understand what is at stake for them to have an eye on their first round result in the last legislative elections:
We note that during this first round of the legislative elections, the candidates of the presidential majority came first in 196 constituencies, ahead of the union of the left, which was ahead in 187 constituencies. The RN was in the lead in 109 constituencies and LR in 42. The political climate and changes in opinion towards the presidential majority and the opposition parties are changing the situation. One element must in particular remain at the top of all the candidates for these 2024 legislative elections: the clear progress of the National Rally in the European elections: in this election, on June 9, the far right came first in more than 32,000 cities, this which gives a trend for the first round of these legislative elections.
