The outgoing mayor Jean-Michel Longueval was ahead of the candidate LR Jeremiah Bréaud in the first round. But the election of Sunday promises to be very tight.
The candidate of the United left, had garnered 42% of votes in the 1st round, but his rival from the Right, came 2nd in mid-march, managed to bring the centrists of Francis Xavier Pénicaud. Their agreement represents 48% of the vote in the first round.
Internal quarrels
The problem for Jean-Michel Longueval, is that the France Insubordinate (5% of the vote) has not given setpoint vote.
Face it : the sacred union was undermined by internal disputes : the former colistiers’s centrist Pénicaud would not have digested his coalition with the Republicansit , and would call for a vote for Jean-Michel Longueval.
A situation that is very uncertain, which promises a lot of suspense.
