2018 by-election
Шаблон:Main Following his defeat, Rimane appealed the results of the election to the Constitutional Council, claiming to have identified voting irregularities during the count.[8] Adam's election was invalidated on 8 December 2017 by the Constitutional Council, leading to a March 2018 by-election for the seat.
Due to the close result in the 2017 contest, a number of leading left-wing figures campaigned for Rimane in the by-election. LFI leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon visited French Guiana to campaign for Rimane, and was accompanied by Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Younous Omarjee and FI deputy Danièle Obono.[9][10] Rimane also received the support of Gabriel Serville, the member of the National Assembly for French Guiana's 2nd constituency.[11] Adam ultimately defeated Rimane by a narrow 50.65% to 49.35% margin.
