Due to the high abstention, only five candidates will be able to skip a second round. Five deputies were indeed elected in the first round, one more than in 2017, including four candidates from the left alliance Nupes, according to the results of the legislative elections on Sunday.
Among these first elected members are the outgoing Insoumis deputies from Seine-Saint-Denis, Alexis Corbière (62.94%), and from Paris, Danièle Obono (57.07%). Two other new Insoumises deputies were elected in Paris, Sophia Chikirou (53.74%), ex-director of communication for Jean-Luc Mélenchon during the 2017 presidential election, and Sarah Legrain (56.51%).
Finally, in the 3rd constituency of Mayenne, Yannick Favennec-Bécot (64), ex-UDI passed to Horizons, managed to be re-elected for a 5th term (57.13%).
