• Outgoing Socialist President Loïg Chesnais-Girard leads the first round of regional elections with just over 20% of the vote.

  • He is ahead of Thierry Burlot, candidate supported by LREM, and the Republican candidate Isabelle Le Callennec.

  • Announced at the head of the poll in a poll, the National Rally struggled to gather with only 14.4% of the votes.

The outgoing bonus still worked. In a ballot marked by a record abstention, it is the outgoing Socialist President Loïg Chesnais-Girard who takes the lead this Sunday evening in the first round of the regional elections. The youngest president of a regional council, however, did not crush the match as Jean-Yves Le Drian had done in 2015 with 35% of the vote. According to the first estimates, Loïg Chesnais-Girard must be satisfied with a small 20.3% but which is more than enough for his happiness. "The Bretons and the Bretons have made a clear choice and this is very good news because it allows us to move forward serenely for the future", welcomed the elected Socialist.

While the ballot promised to be open and undecided, Loïg Chesnais-Girard thus won his fratricidal duel with Thierry Burlot, his former vice-president in charge of the environment who had decided to go it alone.

The candidate supported by the presidential majority, Udi and Modem would come second in the ballot with 16.2% of the vote.

He would be a short head ahead of the mayor of Vitré Isabelle Le Callennec (Les Républicains) who completed the podium with 15.7% of the vote.

Announced at the head, the National Gathering drinks the cup

On the side of the National Rally, it is the soup with the grimace on the other hand.

A poll carried out two weeks ago thus placed Marine Le Pen's party at the top of voting intentions in the region.

His head of the list Gilles Pennelle was also very confident this week, indicating that he would arrive "largely in the lead" on Sunday evening.

It was not, the RN candidate arriving very far from Loïg Chesnais-Girard with 14.4% of the votes.

"It's the ridiculous participation that penalizes us," he said.

The young people and the popular categories who make up our electorate did not come.

"

He would be a short lead ahead of the environmentalist list of Claire Desmarres-Poirrier, who would come in fifth with 14.2% of the vote.
