Outgoing MP in the Somme, will Marine Le Pen’s “Mr. Economy” manage to win and be elected in these legislative elections?
The outgoing deputy for the 4th constituency of the Somme, Jean-Philippe Tanguy, is back in the campaign to try to run for a new mandate in this constituency that he knows well. The latter was invested by the National Rally after the dissolution of the National Assembly by the Head of State Emmanuel Macron, following the presidential rout during the last European elections.
As a reminder, the RN largely won during the European elections on June 9 with a score of 31%, allowing them to send 30 deputies to the European Parliament. In the 4th constituency of the Somme, the RN even came clearly in the lead with 46% of the votes, followed by Renaissance (13%), then the Socialist Party/Place publique at 8%. And it is precisely in this constituency that the graduate of ESSEC and Sciences Po Paris is running for the early legislative elections scheduled for June 30 and July 7.
The RN on its land in this Somme constituency
Jean-Philippe Tanguy was nominated by the National Rally (RN) in a constituency he knows well. Indeed, in 2022, during the last legislative elections, the first round saw the Rally lead the way thanks to the same Jean-Philippe Tanguy (32%) in front of the majority candidate, Jean-Claude Leclabart (25%). In the second round, the Lepéniste party won with 54% of the votes ahead of LREM.
What are the chances for Jean-Philippe Tanguy to be elected to the 2024 legislative elections?
In pole position in the 4th constituency of the Somme. It would be a lie not to give Jean-Philippe Tanguy favorite in this constituency won over to the cause of the right, and even of the RN in view of the last legislative elections, two years ago. The real suspense will rather be knowing who will manage to advance to the second round. Precisely, Note that for these 2024 Legislative Elections, the Hauts-de-France Regional Councilor will face him Elodie Héren (EELV) invested under the New Popular Front banner, the Republican Vincent Jacques, Anthony Gest for the majority, and Guy Vitoux for Workers’ struggle.
Regarding the polls at the national level for these 2024 legislative elections, the fight rages between the two main forces in the country. The National Rally remains above the 30% voting intention mark in the latest poll published by Ifop for LCI. It even reached the symbolic bar of a third of voting intentions and distanced the left coalition (28%), which was placed in second position.
