Romain Arcizet, an engineer and resident of Laos, stood as a candidate representing his own newly established Constructive Independent Party (Parti indépendant constructif). His policy was to enable his constituents to choose his vote on any bill in Parliament, which he described as empowering voters beyond the election. His deputy was Nicolas Constant.[14]

Sébastien Breteau was a miscellaneous right candidate, with Séverine Rod as his deputy.[15]

Francis Nizet, who ran a computer services business in

Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon and China. Catherine Jackson-Grose was his deputy.[16]

Ludovic Chaker, a resident of China, stood as a "social-democratic independent" candidate.

His deputy was Michèle Jullian.[17]

Thibault Danjou stood as an "independent centre-right / liberal right" candidate. A resident of Singapore, and former resident of Tokyo, he was a marketing consultant on the exporting of glass. He was a member of the Democratic Movement and of the Liberal Democratic Party, although he was only endorsed by the Liberal Democratic Party.[18] His deputy was Anne-Marie Tezenas du Montcel.[19]

Antoine Bergeot, a notary working "in the Pacific", was an independent candidate, who said he would sit with the right in Parliament if elected. His deputy was Jérôme Chatenay.[20]

Results

As in the other expatriate constituencies, turnout in the first round was low. Only in five countries did half or more of registered French citizens vote:

Burma (55.2%), and Brunei (50%). These were small communities - fewer than 150 registered adults in each. In countries with a sizable expatriate community, turnout tended to be low: 21.1% in Australia, 29.3% in China, 30.5% in India, 33.4% in Japan, 31.4% in Russia, 39.7% in Singapore, 29.1% in Thailand, and 24.3% in Vietnam. Turnout was lowest in Vanuatu (11.4%) and in Iran (15.3%).[22][23]

This is one of only three expatriate constituencies in which the main candidate of the right finished first in the first round. UMP candidate Thierry Mariani finished first overall, although he was beaten by Socialist candidate Marc Villard in a number of countries - most notably India, Japan, New Zealand, Pakistan (narrowly) and Vietnam. Francis Nizet's third place, with 9.21% of the vote, was the best result for a Democratic Movement-affiliated party in any of the expatriate constituencies.[22][23]
