Why Marine Le Pen's far-right political agenda has taken hold in French Mayotte

The leader of the Rassemblement National (National Rally or RN) party received 42.68 percent of the vote in Mayotte, which voted overwhelmingly in a 2009 referendum to become France's 101st department (and its fifth overseas).

Le Pen's showing in Mayotte, which lies between Madagascar and the African continent, even exceeded her tally in her party’s traditional bastions of Aisne (39.27 percent) and Pas-de-Calais (38.68 percent) in northern France. She also significantly outperformed her two main rivals, far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon (23.96 percent) and President Emmanuel Macron (16.94 percent).
