• The PS bets on continuity. The Socialist Party has invested almost all its outgoing deputies and has not sanctioned dissenting voices within it: among the list of nominations under the colors of the Nupes, we find the outgoing Dominique Potier (who had nevertheless say they don’t want this support), Hervé Saulignac (rather surprised to be invested without being asked his opinion) or even Valérie Rabault, who had voted against the agreement.
• La France insoumise replaces Taha Bouhafs. From candidates invested by LFI, we find Idir Boumertit. This PCF deputy mayor of Vénissieux (Rhône) replaces journalist Taha Bouhafs, who has given up running. Also note the presence of comedian Gérald Dahan in Charente-Maritime and Danielle Simonnet in Paris, in a disputed constituency with the Socialist Bet.
