André Lajoinie
André Lajoinie (born 26 December, 1929 in Chasteaux, Corrèze[1]) is a French politician and a member of the French Communist Party (PCF).
He was a member of the
four deputies from Allier
in the 8th legislature.
A close collaborator of party leader Georges Marchais, he was chosen to be the PCF's candidate in the 1988 presidential election.[2] A rather mediocre public speaker, Lajoinie proved to be an uncharismatic candidate, and was lampooned by humorists who caricatured him as a dimwit. His voting share of 6.8% was considered an unusually mediocre result for PCF standards. Lajoinie retired from active politics in 2002.
