Who to succeed Gilles Le Gendre as president of the LREM group at the National Assembly?
LREM deputies are called on Wednesday and Thursday to decide between six candidates for the presidency of the group in the National Assembly, after the resignation in July of their former boss.
For now, the latest unofficial counts provide for a duel between MP Aurore Bergé and former Minister of the Interior Christophe Castaner.
Re-mobilize the LREM group
In the meantime, in the entourage of candidates, we count and recount the promises to vote.
In Excel tables, the names of supporters are recorded and verified.
In case of doubt, the contenders make phone calls themselves to ensure a vote.
The winner will have the difficult task of re-mobilizing and bringing together a parliamentary group shaken by numerous defections, which will have to face a delicate end of five-year term after the health crisis.
