Legislative: these eight constituencies with triangles in the second round

2022-06-13T11:47:33.038Z


With a very high abstention rate in the legislative elections (52.49%), it is rare for more than two candidates to make it to the second round.


Legislative elections always have a special charm.

At the same time national ballot but with an important local anchorage, they always offer their share of surprises.

The subtlety of this ballot also slips into the possibility of seeing triangles in the second round.

This year, eight constituencies will see three qualified candidates for the second round.

A leap forward, since only one constituency had experienced such a scenario in 2017. For this, the candidates had to either finish among the first two, or obtain a score at least equivalent to 12.5% ​​of the number of voters registered in their constituency, a performance made complicated by record abstention (52.49%).

In 2017, with 51.3% abstention, the only triangular contest opposed a La République en Marche-Democratic Movement candidate, an LR and a National Front candidate, in the 1st constituency of Aube.

In 2012, with 42.78% abstention, there were 34 triangular votes during the legislative elections – for 543 duels.

In 2022, several different scenarios are emerging in extremely different constituencies, both in terms of demographics and sociology.

Two triangular Nupes/Ensemble/LR in the Hauts-de-Seine

The candidate of the presidential majority Aurélie Taquillain, regional councilor of Ile de France and elected from Courbevoie, came first in the 3rd district of Hauts-de-Seine (32.40%).

Philippe Juvin, former candidate for the Republican primary and star doctor of the Covid crisis, comes second (31.14%).

Sara Tij (Nupes) is behind with her 23.10%, but manages to qualify.

In Asnières and Colombes Sud, the neighboring constituency (2nd constituency of Hauts-de-Seine), this is played out in a pocket handkerchief.

The local elected ecologist of Nupes Francesca Pasquini (27.41%) came first, ahead of Baï-Audrey Achidi (Together, 26.79%), referent for the Hauts-de-Seine of LREM and Marie-Do Aeschlimann , vice-president of the regional council of Île-de-France (LR, 24.99%).

The three women are qualified for the second round in a very uncertain scenario where local issues are likely to weigh heavily in the balance.

The candidate LR being the wife of the mayor of Asnières, Manuel Aeschlimann.

“It's a scenario that we had considered, but we are still surprised to be in the lead, confides to Parisian Francesca Pasquini.

We are going to get the electorate who did not come in the first round.

In the working-class neighborhoods, there are votes to be collected”.

“We are in the middle of interpreting the results, polling station by polling station to see where we will have to convince in priority.

Now, we have to go there, we are more than at the bottom, ”enthuses the ecologist.

The LREM/Nupes/RN scenarios

Lot-et-Garonne also has the privilege of seeing two "circos" lead to a tripartite confrontation.

In the 1st, the Ensemble candidate, Michel Lauzzana, comes first with 29.64% of the vote, just ahead of Sébastien Delbosq (RN) at 27.87% and Maryse Combres (Nupes, 26.21%).

In the 2nd constituency, it was the candidate of the Rassemblement national who dominated this first round.

Hélène Laporte obtains 30.55%.

Alexandre Freschi (Ensemble!) qualified in 3rd position with 25.62% of the vote and placed himself behind Christophe Courregelongue, candidate for Nupes, who was one breath ahead of him at 26.03%.

A constituency winnable by the party of Marine Le Pen.

Same situation in the 2nd district of Nièvre, where Julien Guibert (RN, 27.80%) is ahead of the candidate of the presidential majority Patrice Perrot (Together, 26.75%) and the candidate Nupes Marie-Anne Guillemain (24.31 %).

The ballot is also extremely tight in the 3rd constituency of Dordogne.

Outgoing MP Jean-Pierre Cubertafon (MoDem) (23.31%) will have to fight to keep his job.

Cyril Girardeau, the candidate of Nupes, was ahead of him by a short head with 23.68%.

Florence Joubert, the candidate of the far-right party, ranks third with 22.46% but her score in the second round should tip the ballot.

We find the same order of battle in the 2nd constituency of the Tarn, where Karen Erodi (Nupes) comes first with 29.91%.

The LREM candidate Marine-Christine Verdier Jouclas is in 2nd position (28.34%).

Distanced, the representative of the National Rally Julien Bacou (23.68%) qualifies for the second in extremis.

Duel on the left, Together as referee

Finally, in the 2nd district of the Lot, an unprecedented scenario in this rural area.

Two left-wing candidates qualify for the second round.

Thierry Grossemy comes first for Nupes with 23.73%, followed by Huguette Tiegna, the presidential majority candidate (23.70%) and Christophe Proença (23.16%), a dissident socialist.

The latter joined by telephone by Le Parisien explains how uncertain the ballot is.

“There is only a difference of just over 200 votes between the three candidates.

If I had been away from the first two candidates, I would have thought differently, ”analyzes the socialist, support for Carole Delga in Occitania, who maintains herself.

“There were a lot of left-wing candidates in the first round, there is perhaps a margin to be able to win” hopes the one who recalls his disagreement on the substance and the form with the agreement made by his party and Nupes.
