Little established, the rival party of the RN records scores far from the party chaired by Jordan Bardella and should not be able to compose a group in the National Assembly.
Look for a legislative result near you
[Mis à jour le 12 juin 2022 à 20h25] What is the result of Reconquest! in the legislative elections? No big surprise for Reconquest!, Eric Zemmour’s party. According to initial estimates of the results published at 8 p.m. by Ifop-Fiducial for TF1-LCI, Reconquête would obtain 4.1% of the votes in the first round of the legislative elections. Result, according to projections, the movement would obtain only between 0 and 2 seats in the National Assembly, far from the quota (15) necessary to form a group in the National Assembly. Worse, Eric Zemmour would not be in a position to qualify in his own constituency. The first partial results that we were able to retrieve from the Ministry of the Interior place the former journalist at 22.85% of the vote on the basis of 57.85% of the ballots counted in the 4th district of Var where he is a candidate. Eric Zemmour would be preceded by the candidate Ensemble Sereine Mauborgne (29.38%) and the candidate RN Philippe Lottiaux (24.03%).
This election will not have been easy for the former presidential candidate. The former polemicist did not meet the same enthusiasm for these legislative elections compared to when he declared himself a candidate for the Elysée. Very discreet, the former troublemaker of television did not benefit from the same media coverage, eclipsed by the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (NUPES).
Worse still for his result in the 2022 legislative elections, Éric Zemmour was unable to register any significant reinforcements and failed to rally the forces of the extreme right around him. Marine Le Pen and the National Rally even refused any alliance at the start of the race for deputy. The candidacy of Marion Maréchal, as an alternate candidate, does not even seem to help, the polls show. The political training of the former journalist is given far in the voting intentions. From there to obtain a result lower than that of the presidential one?
Eric Zemmour tried, in vain, to seal a pact with Marine Le Pen for the legislative elections. If the approach did not succeed in the face of the refusal of the boss of the RN, the deposed presidential candidate did not however invest any pretender to the deputation against his rival, just like against Nicolas Dupont-Aignan and Eric Ciotti. On the other hand, a Reconquest! will be present in almost all constituencies. Among the candidates, some leading figures such asEric Zemmour in person, invested in the 4e constituency of the Var, in Saint-Tropez. Not far from there, the head of Generation Z, Stanislas Rigaultwill try to be elected in the 2e du Vaucluse, helped by his deputy, Marion Maréchal. Reconquête has also invested a few headliners in the Alpes-Maritimes: Philippe Vardon (3e), ex-executive of the RN, Damien Rieu (4e), identity activist, or Denis Cieslik (6e), former head of sponsorships for the presidential election. Otherwise, Guillaume Peltierex-LR, is a candidate, in the 2e constituency of Loir-et-Cher, just like the first mayor to have publicly supported Eric Zemmour, Wolf Wolfin the 4e constituency of Côte-d’Or. The former figure of the Yellow Vests, Benjamin Cauchypresents himself in the 1st of the Aisne, but also the union policeman Bruno Attal in the 14e du Rhône, or even two presidents of Sens commun, Laurence Trochu (1st of Yvelines) and Sebastien Pillard (14e from Paris). Finally, Amaury de Bourbon Parmaa distant descendant of Louis XIV, was invested in the 2e of the Orne.
Several polls on voting intentions in legislative elections have been carried out by various institutes. The results evoking the suffrage before this Sunday, June 12 credited Reconquest! of a maximum score as high as during the 1er round of the presidential election (ie 7%), when it is not lower. The trend of votes cast at national level in favor of candidates on the part of Eric Zemmour is a continuation of the April election. As for the second round, very few candidates invested by the far-right party were to enter the National Assembly. Four at most were in a good position. A score confirmed by the first estimates this Sunday…
