Lessons to be learned from the first round in the 1st constituency of Eure-et-Loir (Chartres)

As in 2017, the voters of the 1st constituency of Eure-et-Loir placed Guillaume Kasbarian (Together, presidential majority) at the head of the first round of the legislative elections, Sunday June 12. On paper, the outgoing MP seems well placed to keep his chair, but his result appears mixed.

By gathering 31.32% of the votes cast, Guillaume Kasbarian manages to improve in his constituency the score achieved by Emmanuel Macron in the 1st round of the presidential election (30.8%), on April 10, but loses ground compared to the 1st round of the 2017 legislative elections, where he had won 37.1% of the vote.

La Nupes followed by the RN

Ten years after the duel between the mayor of Chartres, Jean-Pierre Gorges, and the socialist David Lebon, the left associated with environmentalists, under the banner of Nupes (New Popular Ecological and Social Union), again manages to climb to 2nd round, with 22.83% of the votes.

The candidate Quentin Guillemain (Ecology Generation), hounded by the RN, however had to wait for the end of the count, in Chartres in particular, to celebrate his qualification, Sunday evening.

First round of the legislative elections in Eure-et-Loir: which candidate came first in your town?

For its first participation in the legislative election, the Chartrain comes first in only three municipalities of the constituency: Briconville, Houx and especially Maintenon, where the environmental activist creates the surprise, by collecting 24.65% of the votes, in front of Guillaume Kasbarian (22 .84%), followed by RN candidate David Delorme-Monsarrat (18.25%) and… Karine Dorange (DVD), who no doubt hoped to obtain a better result (14.38%) with his alternate, Thomas Laforge, Mayor of Maintenon.

A fratricidal duel that is expensive for the traditional right

The fratricidal duel between Karine Dorange, supported by the mayor of Chartres, Jean-Pierre Gorges, and Ladislas Vergne (LR), invested by Les Républicains, will have cost the traditional right dearly, excluded from the second round. Karine Dorange (8.39%) is preceded by a short head by Ladislas Vergne (8.81%).

Between them, they are far from reaching the score of Franck Masselus (then at the UMP), also elected Chartres, who had collected 22.1% of the vote five years ago, and had qualified for the second round.

The RN anchors its establishment

Conversely, the far right is progressing, as in many constituencies in France. Unknown in Eure-et-Loir, the RN candidate, David Delorme-Monsarrat, 25, responsible for young people with Marine in Hauts-de-Seine (92) finished third, with 18.72% of the vote or 6 points of more than the frontist candidate in 2017.

At the Nupes headquarters, in a bar in Chartres: “It’s the start of a great adventure”

The RN anchors its establishment in rural areas. Marine Le Pen’s party finished first in twelve of the sixty-five municipalities in the 1st constituency. David Delorme-Monsarrat exceeds 30% in the villages of Boullay-Thierry and Boullay-Mivoye, on the axis of the RN 154, as well as in the communes of the Vallée de l’Eure, in particular Gas (30.69% ) or Soulaires (34.78%).

An abstention at the highest

The ballot was marked by record abstention since 1997. Less than one voter in the 1st constituency out of two (49.32%) went to the polls this Sunday. Gallardon is the municipality that voted the least (57.5% abstention), while the inhabitants of Saint-Lucien won the palm of participation (64.7%).

Support. The mayor of Chartres, Jean-Pierre Gorges, announced on Sunday evening that he would support “without hesitation” Guillaume Kasbarian (Together, presidential majority) against Quentin Guillemain (Nupes), Sunday June 19, during the second round of legislative elections. . “I will call on all Chartrains and those I know in the first constituency to find themselves in the second round behind Guillaume Kasbarian,” he said. “Nupes is rather a harmful political mixture for the country. »
