On March 23, 2026, following the second round of municipal elections, Marseille is undergoing a significant political reconfiguration. Outgoing mayor Benoît Payan, backed by Printemps marseillais (PM), was re-elected with 54.34% of votes, well ahead of Rassemblement national's (RN) Franck Allisio at 40.30%. Martine Vassal garnered only 5.36%, while Sébastien Delogu (LFI) withdrew from the race. This win strengthens PM's hold in the city center and north, capturing the 13th and 14th arrondissements previously held by the right. The RN positions itself as the second local political force, with a breakthrough in the south-east of the Phocaean city. Traditional right-wing presence has virtually vanished from Marseille's electoral map.
