The scenario was run in advance.
Unsurprisingly, Victor Habert Dassault (LR) won without forcing the partial legislative election of the first constituency of the Oise.
This Sunday, the 28-year-old lawyer won easily, collecting 80.41% of the votes cast, against the candidate of the National Rally (RN), Claire Marais-Beuil (19.59%).
He succeeds his uncle, Olivier Dassault, who died on March 7 in the crash of his helicopter in Touques (Calvados).
"This victory is a huge tribute to the political action of my uncle and my grandfather," said Victor Habert Dassault, who promised "closeness and loyalty" to his voters.
And to ensure to embark on a "year on the ground" in order to be able to stand again in a year, during the next legislative elections in June 2022.

Listening to the voters leaving the polling stations this Sunday, the outcome of the ballot left little room for surprise.
In Crèvecœur-le-Grand, where the young candidate counted 67.82% of the votes last week, the surname Dassault was on everyone's lips.
"Dassault remains Dassault, it's the family," says Céline.
“Before him, I voted for his grandfather Marcel and for Olivier.
Both did a good job, says another.
So we continue to play the Dassault card.
"" I find that he has a lot in common with his uncle, wants to believe Nelly, in Beauvais.
Besides, I am not very National Rally.
So the choice was not complicated… ”
"It was already played in the first round"
An election which will have been marked - in the first round as in the second - by a strong abstention.
At 11 am in polling station number 6, the turnout was ... 7%.
"Yet it is one of the offices where we vote the most," slips an assessor.
It could be worse than last week.
A prediction which proved to be correct at the end of the count, with a total participation of 24.34% against 26% on May 31.
A "massive non-participation", which the candidate RN deplores.
"This shows a certain mistrust of the current political class by the French, who do not feel sufficiently represented," says Claire Marais-Beuil.
This election was anyway already played in the first round.
But not sure that he would have been elected without this name… ”
A recurring criticism that the young deputy sweeps away with the back of his hand: “The best answer is action. And the campaign that I led in a difficult context proves my determination. I am not sure that another candidate than myself visited the 153 communes of the constituency. "
