Description

Ille-et-Vilaine's 4th Constituency covers the south west of the department and includes one of its

Redon

.

The constituency was first established in 1958. During the legislative election of that year, Isidore Renouard, the general councillor for the

Henri Dorgères. Renouard, a centre-right politician, joined the Valéry Giscard d'Estaing-led Independent Republicans

in 1962. Reelected in 1962, 1967, 1968 and 1973, he died in 1975 in a car crash. His substitute, Édouard Simon, took his position until the 1978 elections.

In 1978, Alain Madelin is elected. He is reelected in 1981 and in 1985, becomes the general delegate of the Republican Party, the political successor to the Independent Republicans within the UDF. The constituency is abolished in 1986 but Madelin is reelected as deputy and becomes a minister under PM Jacques Chirac. The constituency is then reinstated and recontested in 1988, with few changes. Madelin is reelected that year, against the same opponent as in 1981, the socialist Pierre Bourges, Redon mayor. One of his deputies, Jean-René Marsac, is unsuccessful in 1993 and Madelin is soundly reelected. Under prime minister Édouard Balladur, he is appointed Minister of Business and Economic Development. He is replaced as deputy by Jean-Gilles Berthommier, mayor of Saint-Erblon. Several changes occur in 1995 following the presidential election and the victory of Jacques Chirac. Madelin remains a minister, however promoted in May, to minister for Economics and Finance. In June, he is elected mayor of Redon. However, Madelin soon resigns from government in August and goes back to his deputy position in October. Madelin is reelected in 1997 with a reduced margin but becomes the president of the Republican Party. Over the 1997 summer, he rebrands it Liberal Democracy. Madelin is the presidential election candidate for his party in 2002. He only gets 3,91 % of the vote. He is reelected as deputy in 2002, on a thin margin.

In 2007, Madelin retires from politics. Loïc Aubin, the UMP candidate and mayor of Saint-Thurial, is defeated by Jean-René Marsac, Madelin's socialist opponent in 1993. The constituency is slightly reshaped in 2010 and Marsac is widely reelected in 2012.

In 2017, Gaël Le Bohec, an engineer, is the En Marche ! candidate and succeeds Marsac who was retiring, with more than 60% of the vote against the La France insoumise candidate. Le Bohec does not run again in 2022 and Mathilde Hignet is elected during a close contest. Hignet is a La France insoumise supporter and a farmworker from Val d'Anast.
