LFI Backs Sébastien Delogu in Marseille Mayoral Bid

His entry clarifies a split left versus a consolidated center-right with the far right in play.

Overview

  • Sébastien Delogu was officially invested by La France insoumise to head its list for the 2026 Marseille municipal elections.
  • LFI will run independently in the first round but keeps the option of a left-wing alliance in the runoff.
  • Delogu frames his campaign as an anti-clientelism push, with a forthcoming program centered on housing, health, and the ecological emergency.
  • He is supported locally by Sébastien Barles’s Vaï movement and by the small party REV linked to Aymeric Caron.
  • Potential rivals include a likely Benoît Payan-led left coalition not yet declared, a unified center-right list around Martine Vassal backed by LR, Horizons and Renaissance, and an RN bid by Franck Allisio supported by Stéphane Ravier.
