Overview

• Olivier Faure topped the first round with 42.21% against Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol’s 40.38%, while Boris Vallaud secured 17.41% and was eliminated
• About 23,000 of 40,000 eligible members voted in the first round, reflecting low engagement for a contest that will shape the party’s direction
• Both Faure and Mayer-Rossignol have actively courted Vallaud’s supporters ahead of the June 5 second round
• Faure advocates uniting the non-Mélenchon left around a common platform, including figures from Place publique and ex-LFI deputies, for the 2027 presidential bid
• Mayer-Rossignol pushes for a “grand parti socialiste” to reassert socialist identity by incorporating outsiders such as Raphaël Glucksmann and Benoît Hamon
