Four peach contestants are still in contention for the second round
Although no candidate in Perch won an outright majority at the end of the first round, which was predictably divided into three constituencies in a non-majority semi-round, a second round was arranged. So in the secret ballot gallery, vice-first vice, beginning with the letter F, resumed the same choreography as in the first round. Counting of votes should take another hour and it will take time.
In the question of “Do you maintain your candidacy?” Asked by Dean Jose González (RN), chair of the session, Communist deputy André Chasaigne, who first came to the New Popular Front (NFP), answered yes, applauded by his colleagues.
Group MP Yaël Braün-Pivet, the outgoing leader of the chamber who came in third, expressed his encouragement. Charles de Courson, the centrist, also maintained his position despite gaining eighteen votes, while National Rally candidate Sébastien Chenu responded enthusiastically with applause from his colleagues.
Philippe Juvin, the candidate of the right-wing group of Republicans, withdrew his candidacy after receiving 48 votes, slightly larger than his group. Like the Horizons candidate, Naima Moutsu with 38 votes, more than her group of thirty elected officials.
Even if the left could be ahead in the second round, the logic of vote exchange favors the candidate of the presidential camp. To win a referendum in the latter case, you always need an absolute majority. Otherwise, a third round is necessary.
