Socialists in a position to hold the Paris Mayor's Office
The left-wing coalition led by Emmanuel Gregoire has won and will try to take over from Anna Hidalgo in the second round.
The coalition of the Socialist Party, the French Communist Party and the Ecologists has won 38.7% of the vote in the first round of the municipal elections in Paris, according to forecasts by Elabe Berger Levrault.
Emmanuel Gregoire's candidacy would prevail over Rachida Dati's Republican candidacy with 24.9% support, while Sophia Chikirou of France Insumisa would win 12.1% of the vote.
Fourth would be Pierre-Yves Bournazel of the center-right Horizons party (11.6%) and fifth would be Sarah Knafo of the far-right Reconquête party (9.6%).
"The people of Paris have put us in the lead in this first round," Gregoire stressed, before appealing to "all voters in the Republican and progressive fields" for the second round. In fact, the Socialists have been in power in the capital of the French state for 25 years, the last 12 years withAnna Hidalgo, and they want to continue that.
In Marseille , the most voted was Benoît Payan (36.7%), who led a left-wing coalition without France Insumisa, although this time he narrowly favored Franck Allisio, the Rassemblement National candidate (33.6%).
In Nice, Eric Ciotti's Republicanswere the most voted (42.6%), ahead of former Mayor Christian Estrosi (Horizons, 31.3%).
In Lyon, the hitherto mayor, ecologist Grégory Doucet, has won 37.5% of the vote, the same number as the center-right independent Jean-Michel Aulas, followed by the French Insumisa candidate, Anaïs Belouassa-Cherifi, with 9.7%, according to Ifop-Fiducial's estimate.
In other cities, like Perpinyà , the far-right mayor, Louis Aliot, has won 50.61% of the vote, so he has won the Mayor's Office without a second round. A similar situation has occurred in Meauxwith Jean-François Cope (center-right), Lensen Sylvain Robert (left) and Cannesen David Lisnard (center-right).
Mayor Calaisen Natacha Bouchart (independent right) will also remain in office and the nationalsecretary of the French Communist Party, Saint-Amand-les-Eaux en Fabien Roussel, will remain mayor.
