The poll closed at 5:30 p.m. and the results came in around 8:15 p.m. Without huge surprise, the three outgoing senators were re-elected: Vincent Capo-Canellas (UDI), whose various center list totals 428 votes, Thierry Meignen (LR), with 494 votes and Fabien Gay (PCF), with 418 votes.
But it is the union list of the socialist party and Europe Ecology – The Greens, which makes a (small) breakthrough (with 535 votes), as its candidates anticipated: Corinne Narassiguin (PS) and Adel Ziane (PS) therefore enters the Senate. Also elected, Ahmed Laouedj from the various left list (253 votes). In summary, at the end of these elections, the PCF and LR each lost one seat, while the PS gained one.
As a reminder, there were six vacancies in Seine-Saint-Denis. Eleven lists, including three led by candidates for their succession, were in the running and there were 2,419 electors called upon to decide between them. Nearly half of the 348 seats in the upper house of Parliament were renewed, including these six, representing the department.
The traditional photos
And even if the campaign was by the very nature of the ballot somewhat confidential, some major voters posted on social networks, the traditional photo in front of the ballot box: Mathieu Hanotin, PS mayor of Saint-Denis and president of Plaine Commune, or even Stéphane Troussel, PS president of Seine-Saint-Denis: “An important democratic moment,” he writes.
Bally Bagayoko, himself a defeated candidate from the LFI list, also shared several “educational” photos during the day, addressed to his subscribers: the counting or the queue of the electors, reminding that they were going to “contribute to decide the political direction of the Senate.
