Mathematician Cédric Villani beaten by 19 votes in Essonne

There are polls that are played in a pocket handkerchief.

This is the case in the 5th district of Essonne, where the mathematician Cédric Villani was beaten in the second round of the legislative elections this Sunday.

He won with 49.9% of the vote.

Cédric Villani, after distancing himself from LREM, had joined Nupes to embark on the reconquest of this constituency.

Dissatisfied with this dissidence, the presidential majority had chosen to send Paul Midy (Together!) to face him.

Unknown to the general public, he is general manager of Renaissance and ex-campaign director of Benjamin Griveaux and Agnès Buzyn during the Parisian municipal elections of 2020. This Sunday, Paul Midy collected 50% of the votes, 19 more than his opponent.
