LEGISLATIVE RESULTS. The 2022 legislative elections are coming to an end this weekend, with the 2nd round of voting this Sunday, June 19. The culmination of an ultimately electric campaign with a more than uncertain outcome. The latest live news…
10:32 – Jean Michel Blanquer has announced that he is filing a legal appeal on the results of the legislative elections in Loiret
Arrived third last Sunday in the 4th district of Loiret; Jean-Michel Blanquer announced, the next day, his intention to file an appeal with the Constitutional Council. The former minister accuses the Nupes candidate, Bruno Nottin, who came before him with only 189 votes in advance, of having “violated several electoral rules during the campaign. For example, making Facebook posts that are sponsored towards voters , it is prohibited. For example, bringing in people to parody me and edit leaflets that imitate my leaflets by saying inaccurate things.”
10:25 – These candidates eliminated in the first round of the legislative elections
Last Sunday, some very prominent candidates were swept away in the first round of legislative elections. On the side of the presidential majority, we will mention Jean-Michel Blanquer: the former Minister of Education of Emmanuel Macron had been parachuted into the 4th district of Loiret. In this very established territory Marine Le Pen during the presidential election, Together! hoped to win a seat by presenting a well-known personality. Lost bet for Jean-Michel Blanquer, who came in third position behind a candidate from the RN and one from Nupes.
Also remember that Eric Zemmour, candidate in the 4th constituency of Var, could not qualify for the second round of legislative elections. All the candidates of his party, Reconquête!, were eliminated in the first round last Sunday.
10:19 – A legislative campaign that turned into a confrontation between Together! and Nupes
If the debates were rare during this campaign, the tackles were made from a distance. Very quickly, facing the confederation Together! gathered around Emmanuel Macron, the main adversary turned out to be the New popular ecological and social union. Immediately, the camp of the President of the Republic undertook a campaign against Nupes, to which the left alliance was able to respond. For Macron’s ministers, a victory for Nupes in the Assembly is “dangerous”, we even speak of “chaos”. Opposite, the left responds in the same tone: “If Macron wins, you will have the Fourth Republic in the Fifth, that is to say, chaos and disorder”, Jean-Luc Mélenchon declared yesterday in press conference.
09:55 – Seven triangular for this 2nd round of the 2022 legislative elections
The results of the first round of legislative allowed eight triangular: that is to say that in eight constituencies, three candidates had exceeded the threshold of 12.5% of the number of registered on the lists, thus being able to qualify in the 2nd round . But in the 1st constituency of Lot-et-Garonne, Maryse Combres, environmental candidate for Nupes who came in third position, chose to withdraw to block the RN candidate, Sébastien Delbosq, who came in 2nd position.
09:35 – Who are the candidates who are competing alone in the second round of the legislative elections?
In three constituencies, due to the withdrawal of a qualified candidate in the second round, the remaining candidate finds himself alone and guaranteed to win. In all three cases, these withdrawals benefit Nupes. Thus, in the 2nd constituency of Seine-Saint-Denis, Virginie de Carvalho, various left candidate who had won 14.83% of the vote last Sunday, chose to withdraw, ensuring the victory of Clémentine Autain. In the 4th district of the same department, Azzedine Taïbi, dissident communist candidate, also withdrew in favor of Soumya Bourouaha, communist invested by Nupes. In the 4th district of Guadeloupe, finally, the candidate of the presidential majority Marie-Luce Penchard, author of a score of 19.88% in the 1st round, also decided to withdraw, ensuring the victory of the socialist Elie Califer.
09:24 – A second round of legislative elections in 572 constituencies this Sunday
France has 577 electoral constituencies, each of which must elect a deputy during these legislative elections. But five constituencies have already elected their deputy in the first round: four Nupes candidates and one candidate from the presidential majority thus obtained an absolute majority of votes in the first round (and at least 25% of the number of registered voters), their to be immediately elected. Add to this that in three constituencies, one of the qualified candidates for a duel in the second round has decided to withdraw. In these four constituencies, the second round is therefore a formality but the remaining candidate is guaranteed to win.
09:12 – A reserve period before the second round of the legislative elections
Since Friday June 17 at midnight, candidates for the 2022 legislative elections and their teams must respect a reserve period. This will end with the announcement of the first results for mainland France, Sunday June 19 at 8 p.m. Until then, campaign teams are no longer allowed to distribute leaflets or other propaganda material and candidates will no longer appear in the media.
09:08 – Welcome to this live broadcast of the 2022 legislative elections
Hello everyone, welcome to this direct from Linternaute devoted to the second round of the legislative elections. Find throughout the day the highlights of the campaign, the constituencies to follow for this second round as well as the latest news.
At this stage, the result of the first round of the 2022 legislative elections has given the presidential majority, united under the banner Together!, and the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes) neck and neck with 25% of the votes at the national level. Marine Le Pen’s National Rally was left behind with less than 19% of the vote. The Republicans float with just over 10%. Reconquest!, the party of Eric Zemmour suffered a stinging failure with less than 5% and no qualified in the second round in the 577 constituencies of France. Here are the balances resulting from this first stage of voting:
The polls have marked the legislative campaign for months and have tried to draw the final result of these 2022 legislative elections during the interval between the two rounds. The latest polls, which have attempted to establish projections for the number of seats, were published on Friday, the last day of the official campaign. No other poll can be published this weekend, until the publication of the first results of the second round. Here is the compilation of the polls with all the estimates and trends of the campaign as well as the latest projections in number of seats.
Legislative elections are organized by direct universal suffrage, by a so-called “uninominal two-round majority” ballot, in 577 constituencies cutting across French territory. Each will send a deputy to the National Assembly for the next legislature. The first round of voting opposed just under 6,300 candidates on June 12, with 5 elected in the first round. The latter were to obtain an absolute majority (50% of the votes cast), but also to reach 25% of those registered (including abstainers) last Sunday. The two candidates who came first in the constituency could qualify for the second round as well as, in rare cases, a third if he had reached 12.5% of the registered voters. Seven triangular are thus organized this Sunday, June 19. This evening, when the results are announced, it is the candidate who comes first, without the required threshold, who will be elected deputy in each of the constituencies.
