Overview

• Louis Boyard of La France Insoumise (LFI) leads the first round with 24.89% of the vote, closely followed by Kristell Niasme of Les Républicains (22.70%).
• The fragmented left and right blocs are working to consolidate their respective bases, with potential alliances critical for the February 2 runoff.
• On the left, Boyard seeks to unite with the PCF-EELV-PS coalition led by Daniel Henry, which secured 20.70% of the vote, though disagreements over candidates and strategy persist.
• On the right, Niasme is negotiating with Philippe Gaudin (15.54%) and Éric Colson (13.61%) to form a unified front against the left.
• The election outcome holds significant stakes for Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, a city grappling with poverty, high unemployment, and governance challenges under the outgoing administration.
