The Val-de-Marne's fifth constituency is a French legislative constituency in the Val-de-Marne département (east of Paris).

Description

It is one of twelve in that département, and covers five cantons. While Champigny-sur-Marne has a secure communist majority, it is outweighed by conservative majorities in the smaller towns of Bry-sur-Marne, Le Perreux-sur-Marne and Nogent-sur-Marne. Nogent was added to the constituency as part of the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies.

2012

As ever, results differed between the various communes which make up the constituency. In Champigny-sur-Marne, Dominique Adenot, the town's Communist mayor, finished first in the first round, with 30,93% - followed by Caroline Adomo (27.33%) and Gilles Carrez (22.81%). By contrast, in Bry-sur-Marne, Carrez obtained 47,33%, Adomo a result similar to that she had in Champigny (27,81%), while Adenot obtained just 5.43% (which placed him fourth, behind the National Front). Nogent-sur-Marne gave 46,92% to Carrez, 28,11% to Adomo and just 5.01% to Adenot, again placing him fourth. Le Perreux-sur-Marne gave 52,92% to Carrez, 26,13% to Adomo, and 4,93% to Adenot (fourth). The addition of Nogent to the constituency contributed to weakening the radical left.
