UDR-RN candidate Antoine Valentin won Sunday's by-election in Haute-Savoie's 3rd constituency with 59.1% of the votes, decisively beating LR's Christophe Fournier. This victory marks the nationalist right's first seizure of a seat in this department, long held by moderate conservatives. It comes weeks before the 2026 municipal elections and is hailed by Éric Ciotti and RN leaders.
