En la segunda vuelta de las elecciones municipales de Marsella de 2026, Benoît Payan (DVG) mantuvo la alcaldía con el 54,34% de los votos, frente al 40,30% de Franck Allisio (RN) y el 5,36% de Martine Vassal. El Printemps marseillais de Payan obtuvo seis de los ocho sectores de la ciudad.

El 23 de marzo de 2026, tras la segunda vuelta de las elecciones municipales, Marsella experimenta una importante reconfiguración política. El alcalde saliente, Benoît Payan, respaldado por el Printemps marseillais (PM), fue reelegido con el 54,34% de los votos, superando con creces al 40,30% de Franck Allisio, del Rassemblement national (RN). Martine Vassal obtuvo solo el 5,36%, mientras que Sébastien Delogu (LFI) se retiró de la contienda. Esta victoria refuerza el control del PM en el centro y el norte de la ciudad, al capturar los distritos 13 y 14, anteriormente en manos de la derecha. El RN se posiciona como la segunda fuerza política local, con un avance en el sureste de la ciudad focense. La presencia tradicional de la derecha ha desaparecido prácticamente del mapa electoral de Marsella.
