Only five candidates in the legislative elections were elected in the first round, Sunday June 12:

  • Alexis Corbière, Figure of La France Insoumise (LFI) and candidate of the new Ecological and Social People’s People’s Union (Nuts) in the 7 e district of Seine-Saint-Denis, elected with 62, 94 % of votes;
  • Sophia Chikirou, another central personality of LFI, candidate of the NUPPs in the 6 e district, elected with 53.74 % of the votes;
  • Sarah Legrain, “rebellious” candidate of the Nutples in the 19 e é> arrondissement of Paris (16 e district of Paris), elected with 56.51 % votes ;
  • Danièle OBONO, candidate of the NUPPS for LFI in the 17 e district of Paris (18 e é> and 19 e boroughs), elected with 57.07 % of the votes;
  • Yannick Favennec, overall candidate! In the 3 e district of Mayenne, elected with 57.13 % of the votes cast.

This level of deputies elected in the first round is already a little higher than in 2017 (four elected officials), who was exceptionally low compared to the elections of 2012 (thirty-six) and 2007 (one hundred ten).

This low number of “first-elected” can be explained in part by the significant abstention and by the threshold to be crossed: to be exempt from a second round, it is indeed necessary to exceed 50 % of the votes cast expressed But also 25 % of voters registered on the electoral lists of the constituency, a level difficult to wait in the event of low participation.
