The Prime Minister, Élisabeth Borne, was elected National Assembly deputy for Calvados’ sixth constituency after beating left-wing trade union (Nupes) candidate Noé Gauchard in the second round with 52.46% of the vote. Borne thus remains at the head of the government.
The Parisian, daughter of a pharmacist from Calvados, was appointed by Macron a month ago and faced an election process for the first time. Passed the test. Borne is a technocrat, she had never held any local or political mandate. His professional career has developed entirely in administration, in ministerial cabinets and in large public companies.
Along with her, fourteen other members of the government presented themselves as candidates in their respective constituencies. They all played their position in the polls. According to an unwritten rule, if a candidate candidate loses the election, he must resign because he would not have the support of the polls.
This rule was imposed in 2007 by conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy and has been applied ever since. In 2017, Macron’s four ministers and two secretaries of state who presented themselves were elected as deputies.
In addition to Borne, Gérald Darmanin (Minister of the Interior), Damien Abad (Solidarities) and Oliver Véran (Deputy Minister of Relations with Parliament) would win a seat, pending the names of all members of the government sitting in the hemisphere .
Instead, Brigitte Bourguignon, Minister of Health, was defeated in the polls, as was Secretary of State for the Sea, Justine Benin. Both will have to resign from their positions.
The fate of Amélie de Montachalin (Ecological Transition), Stanislas Guerini (Government) and Deputy Minister Clément Beaune (European Affairs), whose seats were on the line, was unknown at the time of going to press.
