The outgoing UDR/RN alliance in the first district of Tarn-Et-Garonne came out on Sunday, October 5, with 29.5% of the votes in the first round of a partial legislative that will be played against the PS (24.3%) next Sunday.
This election had been organized due to the inelegability, pronounced in July for the financing of the illicit campaign, by Brigitte Barèges, mayor of Montauban from 2001 to 2021 and elected deputy in 2024 under the label of the Eric Ciotti UDR party, with the support of the RN.
On Sunday, on a ballot marked by a strong abstention (65.7%), the one who had been attached by Brigitte Barrèges, Pierre-Henri Carbonnel, a 35-year-old farmer, therefore, came out leading a little more than five points ahead of Cathie Bourdonce, vice president of the Tren-Edenne Department Council, invested by the PS.
The apartment “even more correct than a year ago”
“The TAN-ET-GARONNE is on the right, even more than a year ago. People are beginning to carry out the impact and damage of macronism. Today I call the right to the right for this second round,” said Pierre-Henri Carbonnel, her socialist rival that she asked for “all republican candidates to join and join us.”
Despite Bruno Retailleau’s support, which came to cheer up a meeting on Friday night in Montauban, Bernard Pécou (LR) was not successful in the commitment to qualify and obtained 17.6% of the votes cast. It is followed by the candidate of the leftist alliance with the support of EELV and LFI Samir Chikhi (10.5%).
The arrival of former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal or former Minister of Education Anne Genetet, to support Catherine Simonin-Bénazet will not have saved the worst score of the presidential camp in this constituency since 2017 (5.3%).
