Right-wing
In Nîmes, two right-wing factions vie for the succession of Mayor Jean-Paul Fournier, who is not seeking re-election in the municipal elections. Julien Plantier and Valérie Rouverand have formalized their electoral alliance, while Franck Proust remains loyal to the Fournier clan. These divisions could benefit the united left and the National Rally.

Antoine Valentin, the Union des droites pour la République (UDR) candidate backed by Éric Ciotti, led the first round of a partial legislative election in Haute-Savoie on Sunday with about 45% of the votes. Supported by the Rassemblement national (RN), he outpaced Les Républicains (LR) candidate Christophe Fournier, who received 15%. This vote, weeks before municipal elections, tests right-wing strategies regarding an alliance with the RN.
