This is the first time that LREM has won partial legislative elections.
Minister Brigitte Bourguignon was elected Member of Parliament for the 6th district of Pas-de-Calais on Sunday.
The presidential majority candidate was opposed to that of RN Marie-Christine Bourgeois.
The Deputy Minister in charge of Autonomy won 62.05% of the vote, in a ballot where participation was even lower than in the first round, at 23.99%.
Because of his presence in the government, it is Brigitte Bourguignon's deputy, Christophe Leclercq, who will sit in the National Assembly.
It will be a first for him.
The support of Xavier Bertrand
The minister, who for her part had been elected for the first time MP for Pas-de-Calais in 2012 under the PS label, benefited from the indirect support of the ex-LR president of the Region, Xavier Bertrand, who, at the 'after the first round, had called to "block the FN".
Marine Le Pen retaliated by accusing him of being an “auxiliary” for Emmanuel Macron.
