• Heckled on the national level, the presidential party was still able to count on Brittany to glean some seats of deputies in the National Assembly

  • President Macron, however, lost two loyal supporters with the defeats of Richard Ferrand and Florian Bachelier.

  • Brittany has no MPs from the National Rally, all having been eliminated in the first round.

A centrist land, which had taken to leaning to the left.

After having triumphed in Brittany in 2017, Emmanuel Macron's party was still able to count on the western peninsula this Sunday.

In the second round of the legislative election, the region offered 17 of its 27 seats to the candidates of the party Together!

But all is not perfect for President Macron, who has lost his faithful lieutenant Richard Ferrand, sent to the mat by a young candidate from Nupes.

It is not the tidal wave of 2017 when the presidential majority won 24 seats out of 27. But after the second round of the legislative elections, Brittany still remains a macronist land.

Sunday evening, the candidates invested by Together!

won in 17 constituencies in the region, ie seven seats lost for the president's party.

But during the mandate, he had already lost three with the resignation of the Rennes deputy Mustapha Laabid, convicted in court, the exclusion of Jean-Charles Larsonneur and the departure of Paul Molac.

Two heavyweights from Macronie on the mat

If the presidential majority held its rank and retained a large majority of its seats in Brittany, the two main figures of Macronie in the region however bit the dust on Sunday evening.

Intimate of the President of the Republic, Richard Ferrand thus said goodbye to the perch of the National Assembly, beaten in the 6th district of Finistère.

He is preceded by a short head by the candidate of Nupes Mélanie Thomin who wins with 50.67% of the vote.

After his defeat, the now ex-president of the National Assembly sent his “congratulations” and “wishes for full success” to his young socialist opponent.

"We are going to create the alternative on the left after five years of liberal politics embodied here by Richard Ferrand", she declared before the second round on her Internet page.

The results in your constituency

In Rennes, a pillar of the majority also fell in the 8th district of Ille-et-Vilaine.

Largely outstripped in the first round by the Nupes candidate Mickaël Bouloux, Florian Bachelier failed to catch up.

First quaestor of the Assembly, he thus lost his seat with 42% of the vote, against 58% for his socialist opponent.

"The French expect results: I want to be a deputy who will bring the solutions from the field to the National Assembly, those that I was able to bring during my seven years as mayor of Rheu", declared the winner in a press release. .

The Nupes triumph in Rennes

They were four in 2017. Five years later, she finds herself alone.

Who ?

Laurence Maillart-Mehaignerie.

The MP for the 2nd constituency will now be the only representative of the presidential party among the four constituencies in Rennes.

Around her, she will only see the Nupes.

A bastion of the left, Rennes reconnected with its traditions by electing Frédéric Mathieu, Mickaël Bouloux and Claudia Rouaux, all from the union of the left.

The MP for the 3rd constituency will continue her work in the Assembly, which began in 2020 on the death of the socialist François André.

In 2017, the Rennes elected official had won with the support of Emmanuel Macron's party before illness suddenly won, propelling his deputy to the benches of the Hemicycle.

It should be noted that the participation rate shuddered in Rennes where it reached 55%, i.e. thirteen points better than in 2017.

Republicans save the furniture

In a region reputed to be rather anchored on the left, two right-wing elected officials managed to save what could still be.

In the Côtes d'Armor, the vice-president of the National Assembly Marc Le Fur easily won against Nupes.

The dean of Breton deputies is back for a fifth term.

The ballot turned out to be more complicated for Jean-Luc Bourgeaux.

The candidate Les Républicains ended up winning with 2,000 votes in advance (52.2%) in Saint-Malo, ahead of the candidate for Together!

Anne LeGagne.

No elected RN in the region

While the National Rally has offered itself a historic push at the national level, it should be noted that the Brittany region will not have any far-right elected members of the Assembly.

None of the candidates present in the first round on June 12 had been able to qualify for the second round.
