Will she have to resign?
Like 14 other members of the government, Élisabeth Borne, Prime Minister, will have to leave the government in the event of defeat in the legislative elections.
At the end of this first round, however, she came first and qualified for the second round, in the 6th district of Calvados (Normandy), along with Noé Gauchard (Nupes).
They obtain approximately 34% and 24% of the votes respectively, after the counting of 99% in the polling stations.
The Prime Minister will therefore play her place at Matignon next week during the second round of the legislative elections, as the big favorite.
In this constituency where Jean-Luc Mélenchon had obtained 18% of the votes in the first round of the presidential election, the former Minister of Labor and Employment faced 10 other candidates.
Among them, the young Noé Gauchard (22 years old), invested by Nupes and who presented himself as “the young ecologist facing the symbol of social and ecological mistreatment”.
Jean-Philippe Roy, already invested by the National Rally five years ago, was also a candidate for the party of Marine Le Pen.
He got just over 20% of the vote.
