Overview

  • Louis Boyard and his ally Fadwa Sadak remain unable to form their own group in the municipal council due to a lack of members.
  • Former allies of Boyard, including Mamadou Traoré, have established a new opposition group called 'Dignité et Solidarité' with five members.
  • The new group aims to reorganize and strengthen the left-wing opposition ahead of the 2026 municipal elections.
  • Mamadou Traoré, who initially joined Boyard's list to avoid division in 2024, now leads the new group to focus on strategic unity and electoral preparation.
  • Boyard denies being evicted by his former allies, stating that the group's formation was not his choice but expressing respect for the decision.
