06/30/24 – 7:13 p.m. – First election for Stéphane Séjourné

He has never encountered it: these early legislative elections confront Stéphane Séjourné for the first time with the vote of the voters. The Minister of Foreign Affairs was not, however, invested in an impossible constituency since it is in the 9th of Hauts-de-Seine that he is running. This is the commune of Boulogne-Billancourt, which elected Emmanuel Pellerin in 2022, candidate for the presidential majority. On this land which has never seen anything other than the right represent it at the Bourbon Palace, the tenant of the Quai d’Orsay seems in a good position to win, especially since he obtained the support of the LR mayor of the city, despite a dissident candidacy from Eric Ciotti’s party.

06/30/24 – 6:45 p.m. – Candidate ministers in danger?

“Everyone is in danger, this election is all in!” assured RMC an advisor to the executive. The risk is especially present in constituencies that largely voted for the RN in the European elections and where, conversely, the presidential camp did not stand out. For example, in Eur-et-Loire, with Guillaume Kasbarian and in Loir-et-Cher with Marc Fesneau, the presidential camp obtained half as many votes as the RN. To try to win, they relied on their local roots by increasing their travels. “Those who are elected, will be elected by the sweat of their brow,” assured an advisor.

06/30/24 – 6:22 p.m. – 12 ministers elected in 2022

In 2022, 15 ministers including Elisabeth Borne was a candidate for the legislative elections. They all managed to qualify for the second round. Three ultimately failed during this second stage. Justine Benin, Secretary of State for the Sea in 2022, was ousted with only 41.35% of the votes against the candidate supported by NUPES in the second constituency of Guadeloupe. Brigitte Bourguignon, then Minister of Health and Prevention, lost by 56 votes to the RN candidate, Christine Engrand, in the 6th constituency of Pas-de-Calais. Finally, Amélie de Montchalin obtained only 46.64% of the votes. Minister of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion at that time, she had been in an unfavorable ballot at the end of the first round in the 6th constituency of Essonne. She was beaten by the Nupes candidate Jérôme Guedj.

06/30/24 – 6:13 p.m. – Ministers victims of the government’s record?

Among these candidate ministers, several of them have already won the 2022 legislative elections in their constituency and are therefore not newcomers. However, the government’s record and the rise of the RN could greatly harm them during this new election. The polls published before the reserve period of Friday June 28 midnight rather counted on a victory for the RN with more than 30% of voting intentions. The left union was only a few points behind, oscillating between 25 and 30%. The presidential majority remained behind, hovering around 20% of voting intentions. These estimates remain national, not giving local political balance of power and reflecting trends observed at a specific moment.

As the French go to the polls this Sunday, 24 government ministers hope to run for a new mandate as deputy, like Prime Minister Gabriel Attal who is running in the 10th constituency of Hauts-de-Seine in Vanves.

However, 11 ministers chose not to run in the early legislative elections, including Bruno Le Maire, concerned about a renewal of political staff. The Minister of Justice Éric Dupond-Moretti, the Minister of Culture Rachida Dati, the Minister of the Armed Forces Sébastien Lecornu, the Minister of Ecological Transition Christophe Béchu, the Minister of Transport Patrice Vergriete, the Minister of Sports Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, the Minister of Education Nicole Belloubet, the Minister of Labor, Health and Solidarity Catherine Vautrin, the Minister of Higher Education Sylvie Retailleau and the Secretary of State for Development and International Partnerships Chrysoula Zacharopoulou took the same decision.

Conversely, some former members of the government are running for a seat in the National Assembly. This is particularly the case of Olivier Véran in Isère, Elisabeth Borne in Calvados or even Aurélien Rousseau, former Minister of Health under Emmanuel Macron in the seventh constituency of Yvelines.

During the 2022 legislative elections, 15 ministers of the Borne government submitted themselves to universal suffrage. 12 of them were elected and 3 were defeated, leading to their departure from the government: they were Amélie de Montchalin, then Minister of Ecological Transition, Brigitte Bourguignon, Minister of Health and Justine Benin, Secretary of State for the Sea.
