Confinement or not, it is won for them. They will therefore experience the debate on the development of measures to contain the coronavirus in France without fear of losing their lead in the first round. Indeed, several mayors, including many figures, were elected this Sunday evening thanks to an absolute majority in the ballot boxes. Overview.
Three ministers reassure themselves
They got wet and came out with their heads held high. Gérald Darmanin , Minister of Action and Public Accounts, was re-elected in Tourcoing (Nord) in the first round. He will remain first deputy. Franck Riester had said that elected, he would be n ° 2 in Coulommiers (Seine-et-Marne) of which he was mayor until 2017. With 58.85% of the votes, the Minister of Culture was re-elected as of first round. Sébastien Lecornu (Collectivités) in Vernon, in tandem with François Ouzilleau, was also re-elected. Geneviève Darrieussecq (with the Armies) in Mont-de-Marsan was on the list of outgoing mayor Charles Dayot. Elected MoDem obtained 53.94% of the vote, and was therefore re-elected in the first round.
Republicans Strengthen Strongholds
The president of the Association of Mayors of France, François Baroin , was re-elected in a chair on Sunday from the first round in Troyes, which he has held the reins since 1995.
In 2014, Hubert Falco had been re-elected in the first round with 59.27% of the vote, less than the 65.2% obtained in 2008. At 72, the mayor will still run Toulon in 2020, as for 19 years, thanks to its 62% obtained this Sunday.
The outgoing mayor of Reims, Arnaud Robinet , was re-elected in the first round with more than 66% of the vote.
Joëlle Ceccaldi-Raynaud , mayor of Puteaux since 2004, will make for his part a fourth mandate thanks to his 65%. It did better than in 2014, where it won the first round with 55.93% of the vote - the Council of State had canceled the election, reorganized in June 2015. Joëlle Ceccaldi had however reissued his feat, obtaining 60 , 77% of the vote.
With more than three quarters of the votes cast, the mayor of Meaux, Jean-François Copé , achieved his best score since his first campaign in 1995. He crushed the competition with 76% of the votes cast in this first round.
On the other hand, in Nice, Christian Estrosi, who was easily predicted elected after the withdrawal of the candidacy of his enemy brother from the Alpes-Maritimes, Eric Ciotti, will have to go through the second round box, despite his 47.6% lead.

On the UDI side, the emblematic mayor of Issy-les-Moulineaux - for 40 years - André Santini has won again with his 60.5% of the vote.
And the RN too
In Hénin-Beaumont, stronghold of Marine Le Pen, the outgoing mayor Steeve Briois was re-elected triumphantly with 74.21%.
David Rachline does it better than in 2014. The mayor RN of Fréjus, already proud of his 40.3% during the first round of the previous municipal one, this time spares the second by being re-elected with 50.61% of the votes .
Same scenario of a re-election in the first round for five other frontists: in Villers-Cotterêts with Franck Briffaut (53.46%), in Hayange with Fabien Engelmann (63.14%), in Pontet with Joris Hébrard (57.21 %), in Beaucaire with Julien Sanchez (59.50%) and in Camaret-sur-Aigues with Philippe de Beauregard (70.22%). For Louis Aliot, at the head in Perpignan, it will however be necessary to wait for the second round.
Associated with Marine Le Pen's party without clearly having the label, Robert Ménard also confirmed in Béziers by being elected thanks to his 68.7% of the vote.
More complicated on the majority side and on the left…
On the LREM side, the mayors passed under the En Marche flag! there are not too many to spare the second round - if it takes place. In Angers, Christophe Béchu saves honor by collecting 58% of the vote. And thus precedes its socialist and ecological adversaries. Still on the majority side, the outgoing mayor of Agen (MoDem, supported by LREM) Jean Dionis du Séjour remains in office.
Also on the left, where divisions and the new lonely ambitions of the Greens complicate the situation, cases of first shots are rare, like Luc Carvounas (PS) in Alfortville or the mayor DVG of Istres, François Bernardini ( 54.8%).
