After a week marked by twists and turns and efforts to quickly conclude alliances and nominate candidates, the lightning campaign for the first round of the legislative elections on 30 June officially gets underway on Monday 17 June under high tension

Since 6 p.m. on Sunday, all the candidates for the 577 seats of deputy have been registered at the prefecture. Now it’s down to fieldwork, the dispatch of election propaganda and media appearances to take up the slack in this intense electoral race.

For his part, Gabriel Attal announced that, faced with the dissolution and difficult position in the polls, the presidential majority has decided not to present a candidate in around sixty constituencies for the 2024 legislative elections. Instead, it will support candidates deemed to be constructive, whether from the right, the left or the Libertés, indépendants, outre-mer et territoires group.

This decision includes examples such as Michèle Tabarot, Marie-Christine Dalloz, Virginie Duby-Muller, Emilie Bonnivard, Nicolas Forissier, Philippe Juvin and Julien Dive among the outgoing LR MPs. On the left, the Macron party will not field a candidate against Jérôme Guedj, a Socialist standing in Essonne outside the New Popular Front. Similarly, François Hollande, a surprise candidate in Corrèze, will not find an opponent from the majority.
