US EditionMunicipales 2026 : Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse... Les Résultats Du Premier Tour Des Élections
The first round saw key candidates qualify in major cities with left and right alliances shaping the upcoming second round; turnout was around 57%, one of the lowest in recent years.
- On Sunday, electors voted in the first round of municipal elections, with Emmanuel Grégoire leading in Paris and Benoît Payan tied with RN's Franck Allisio in Marseille.
- As a backdrop, the vote carries national weight ahead of 2027, with most mayors chosen in France’s 34,000 villages, towns and cities while parties prepare for second-round alliances.
- Definitive counts in several towns produced clear local winners: Édouard Philippe, mayor of Le Havre and president of Horizons, topped Le Havre with 43,76 %, while David Guiraud, LFI deputy in Roubaix, led with 46,56 %.
- The Marseille runoff hinges on whether Sébastien Delogu, who won just over 13 percent, merges with Payan’s list or withdraws, while Paris qualifiers include Sophia Chikirou and Pierre-Yves Bournazel.
- Turnout estimates showed low participation at 56–58.5 percent, the lowest since 2014 except for 2020, while Jordan Bardella warned 'It starts in seven days', referring to the presidential election next year.
