Wallonia,officially the Walloon Region,is one of the three regions of Belgium—along with Flanders and Brussels. Covering the southern portion of the country,Wallonia is primarily French-speaking. It accounts for 55% of Belgium's territory,but only a third of its population. The Walloon Region and the French Community of Belgium,which is the political entity responsible for matters related mainly to culture and education,are independent concepts,because the French Community of Belgium encompasses both Wallonia and the bilingual Brussels-Capital Region but not the German-speaking Community of Belgium.
Herstal,formerly known as Heristal,or Héristal,is a city and municipality of Wallonia located in the province of Liège,Belgium. It lies along the Meuse river. Herstal is included in the "Greater Liège" agglomeration,which counts about 600,000 inhabitants.
The Workers' Party of Belgium is a Marxist and socialist political party in Belgium.

In the run up to the 2024 Belgian federal election,various organisations carried out opinion polling to gauge voting intention in Belgium. The results of nationwide polls are usually numerically split into the three Belgian regions:Flanders,Brussels and Wallonia. Federal seat projections for the Chamber of Representatives are presented together under these regional polls. The federal election was part of a group of elections which also include the regional elections and the European elections held on the same day. Some polls might be undefined voting intentions without differentiating between the elections.
