The Val-de-Marne's fifth constituency is a French legislative constituency in the Val-de-Marne département (east of Paris).

Description

It is one of twelve in that département, and covers five cantons. While Champigny-sur-Marne has a secure communist majority, it is outweighed by conservative majorities in the smaller towns of Bry-sur-Marne, Le Perreux-sur-Marne and Nogent-sur-Marne. Nogent was added to the constituency as part of the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies.^[1]

2012

As ever, results differed between the various communes which make up the constituency. In Champigny-sur-Marne, Dominique Adenot, the town's Communist mayor, finished first in the first round, with 30,93% - followed by Caroline Adomo (27.33%) and Gilles Carrez (22.81%). By contrast, in Bry-sur-Marne, Carrez obtained 47,33%, Adomo a result similar to that she had in Champigny (27,81%), while Adenot obtained just 5.43% (which placed him fourth, behind the National Front). Nogent-sur-Marne gave 46,92% to Carrez, 28,11% to Adomo and just 5.01% to Adenot, again placing him fourth. Le Perreux-sur-Marne gave 52,92% to Carrez, 26,13% to Adomo, and 4,93% to Adenot (fourth). The addition of Nogent to the constituency contributed to weakening the radical left.^[2]
