Socialist Emmanuel Grégoire won the Paris municipal election runoff on March 22, 2026, with 50.52% of votes against Rachida Dati (41.52%) and Sophia Chikirou (7.96%). An arrondissement analysis reveals a divided capital with minimal shifts, while Dati blames divisions on the right and center for her defeat.
RN president Jordan Bardella urged Parisian voters on Tuesday evening to block the left and far-left by voting for Rachida Dati in the municipal runoff. He said he would personally vote for the LR-MoDem candidate if registered in Paris. This comes after Sarah Knafo's withdrawal and the merger with Pierre-Yves Bournazel.
