As expected, he will return to his seat. But by sparing a second round and with a very comfortable score. This Sunday evening, the outgoing mayor Christophe Béchu was realu in Angers with 57.82% of the votes. He made short work of his left opponents Silvia Camara-Tombini (PS) 16.81%, Yves Aurégan (EELV) 14.08%, and Claire Schweitzer (LFI) 5.12% who were divided and weakened. The other two candidates, Olivier Douay (RN) Céline L'Huillier (LO) each won 4.76% and 1.41% of the vote.
Investiture LREM
After 37 years of reign of the left, Christophe Béchu had managed to change the color of Angers "the moderate". In March 2014, he swung the capital of Maine-et-Loire to the right and accessed the mayor's chair with more than 54% of the vote. Six years later, in a political landscape that has changed, the man got rid of his UMP label then Les Républicains and it is with the LREM nomination (and still his ability to gather together) that he succeeds to be stacked for a second term.
