“As of today, the post of Deputy is therefore vacant.
(…) I am naturally a candidate, with an even stronger determination to carry out a project of unity”: faced with the decision of the wise men of the Constitutional Council, Laure Miller, invested by the presidential majority, was quick to react on the social networks.
Unhappy candidate during the polls of June 12 and 19 in the 2nd district of the Marne, the council agreed with him in his appeal process by invalidating the elections and the decision took effect from the announcement, Friday, December 2.
Laure Miller believed that her victory in the 1st round had been stolen from her.
The fault of a thousand ballots which had been invalidated during the count because they bore the mention "official candidate of Emmanuel Macron".
A mention a priori contrary to the electoral code.
At the time, the candidate of the presidential camp had not been able to access, narrowly, the second round.

A new legislative will therefore be held in the next three months.
The MP elected last June, Anne-Sophie Frigout (RN) thus loses her mandate but is back in the saddle for a new campaign.
“Although I regret it, I accept this decision of the Constitutional Council.
My determination is intact and I continue my work in the field,” she says.
In the other camps, we are also working for the future.
Outgoing MP (2017-2022) Aïna Kuric (Horizons) has also indicated that she will again seek the presidential majority nomination.
She is not the only one to want to go back to the countryside.
The casting for the next election is being prepared behind the scenes.
On the right, Stéphane Lang (LR) clarified that he would run again.
On the other hand, on the left, Lynda Meguenine (Nupes) will not be there.
But other faces could emerge in the coming weeks.
