Gabriel Attal, the suspended Prime Minister, is on the verge of securing his seat in the National Assembly. Attal is expected to win with 61% of the votes against his socialist rival, Cécile Soubelet, in Hauts-de-Seine. This election is crucial for Attal, who has distanced himself from the head of state during his campaign, even suspending the unemployment insurance reform to establish himself as a central figure within the disoriented central bloc.
The legislative elections in Hauts-de-Seine have seen varied outcomes across different constituencies. Notably, the National Rally did not qualify any candidates for the second round. Four deputies have already been elected, including Elsa Faucillon (PCF-NFP) and Philippe Juvin (LR). The second round will see seven candidates from the presidential camp facing off against the New Popular Front (NFP), with close left-right duels anticipated in several constituencies.
In the 10th constituency, Gabriel Attal is well-positioned, having secured over 45% of the votes in the first round. Other constituencies also present interesting dynamics: Stéphane Séjourné (Ensemble) was largely elected in Boulogne-Billancourt, and Sabrina Sebahi (Les Ecologistes-NFP) leads strongly in Nanterre, Suresnes. The close races in the 2nd, 5th, 12th, and 13th constituencies highlight the competitive nature of these elections.
Former Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne has been re-elected in the 6th constituency of Calvados with around 56% of the votes. Her victory was facilitated by the withdrawal of La France insoumise candidate Noé Gauchard after the first round. Borne, who served as the second female Prime Minister of France, expressed her desire to govern with a broad Assembly, aiming to find majorities on shared republican subjects.
