Defeated PS Mayor Files Legal Challenge to La Flèche Election Result

The case now sits with an administrative court that can confirm the result or throw out the vote.

Overview

  • Nadine Grelet-Certenais says she lodged the appeal on her lawyer’s advice and within the legal window.
  • She alleges numerous irregularities in the municipal contest but has not detailed them in public statements.
  • Her lawyer said French judges can annul a local election if false news or last‑minute announcements decisively sway the outcome.
  • New mayor Romain Lemoigne of the RN rejected the challenge, called her a sore loser, and said his camp ran a fair race.
  • The margin was 133 votes in a town long held by the Socialists, and the administrative tribunal will now review the complaint with no hearing date announced.
