PARIS: Socialist candidate Emmanuel Grégoire won the Paris mayoral race Sunday, succeeding fellow party member Anne Hidalgo as the French capital’s mayor, as results of the final round of municipal elections showed clear gains for the traditional left and right, and one major win for the far right in the French Riviera city of Nice.
The vote is a test of the balance of power on France’s local political map before the 2027 presidential race begins to take shape. Definitive results were still pending in big cities, including in Paris.
