Overview
- Emmanuel Grégoire won the Paris second round with about 50.5% of the vote, defeating Rachida Dati of Les Républicains.
- His list united the left without La France Insoumise, as he refused an alliance sought by LFI’s Sophia Chikirou.
- Sarah Knafo and Pierre‑Yves Bournazel withdrew after the first round, moves that influenced second‑round alignments and endorsements.
- Grégoire accused President Emmanuel Macron of intervening to aid Dati; Macron publicly denied any involvement and called the claim false.
- The Socialist Party also won in Marseille, Lille and Lyon, while RN expanded in smaller communes but failed to capture medium or large cities, with Paris turnout near 57%.
