Marie-Caroline Le Pen, the sister of far-right leader Marine Le Pen and former mother-in-law of National Rally leader Jordan Bardella, has suffered a defeat in the northern constituency of Sarthe in France. The French interior ministry data confirms that she was beaten by Élise Leboucher, a candidate from the left-wing alliance New Popular Front.
Le Pen, who previously held a position as a regional counselor in the Greater Paris region, was strategically placed in the western constituency of Sarthe. Despite her political background and connections, she was unable to secure victory in this election.
