Justine Benin defeated in Guadeloupe in an early blow to Emmanuel Macron’s centre-right Ensemble! („Together!“) coalition
In France‘s Caribbean island of Guadeloupe — where the poll is held a day early — Justine Benin was defeated by NUPES candidate Christian Baptiste Saturday, a loss that jeopardises her role in the government as Secretary of State for Sea.

A government reshuffle is expected after the election.
