The campaign was long but the rapid vote and the result decided in the first round: the deputy Emmanuel Grégoire will be the candidate of the Socialist Party (PS) for the municipal elections in Paris in March 2026. This decided the approximately 1,500 members of the Parisian PS who went to the urns, Monday, June 30, to decide between three contenders, Rémi Féraud, Emmanuel Grégo and Marion Waller.
This election in the first round with 52.61 % of the votes for the winner comes to close a harsh battle for the outgoing mayor’s chair, Anne Hidalgo (PS): started in November, she opposed an ex-deputy pre-prepared for a long time but repudiated by the mayor (Emmanuel Grégoire), a leader of the socialist group to the Council of Paris supported by the apparatus but left (Rémi Féraud, Who made 44.33 %) and a surprise candidate of just 33 years old, director of the Arsenal pavilion and never elected (Marion Waller, 3 %).
The victory of Emmanuel Grégoire is first of all that of a man ready to take over at the Town Hall for at least seven years, who had time to build a supported project, to build a team around him and who had a better dynamic at the end of the campaign, with supporters of major political figures (the former Prime Ministers Lionel Jospin and Jean-Marc Ayrault, the former mayor of Paris Bertrand Delanoë Head of the Socialist Group in the Assembly, Boris Vallaud, as well as many of Ile-de-France deputies and mayors, especially in Seine-Saint-Denis).
