Ecologist Jérémie Iordanoff Elected Vice-President of French National Assembly

Iordanoff's victory highlights fractures within the alliance between Macronists and Les Républicains.

  • Jérémie Iordanoff, an ecologist, secured 175 votes in the third round, defeating LR candidate Virginie Duby-Muller who received 161 votes.
  • The election outcome is seen as a setback for the 'common bloc' of Macronists and Les Républicains, revealing deep divisions within the alliance.
  • The MoDem's decision to field its own candidate in earlier rounds contributed to the failure of the common bloc to consolidate votes.
  • Jean-Luc Mélenchon and other left-wing leaders praised the victory as a testament to the unity of the Nouveau Front Populaire.
  • The result follows a pattern of recent setbacks for the Macronist-LR alliance, including the election of an Insoumise candidate to a key commission chair earlier in October.
