Description

The 4th constituency of the Puy-de-Dôme is in the south of the department to the south of Clermont-Ferrand, the south east portion of which is contained within it.

The seat has historically lent towards the left with only a sole RPR victory in 1993 to interrupt the dominance of the Socialist Party. However, in 2017 the constituency followed the national trend by electing a centrist deputy from Emmanuel Macron's coalition.
