An outgoing mayor who does not stand for re-election, and a very open election. Here is the situation of the city of Lyon for these 2020 municipal elections, while Gérard Collomb, one of the few officials The Republic on the march of a big city, is content to seek the metropolis. While the ecologist Grégory Doucet, the Republican Etienne Blanc and Yann Cucherat, invested by LREM and the Modem, clash for the town hall, it is the first who came first in the first round, Sunday, with 29% of the vote, according to still provisional results.
Behind him, the Republican Etienne Blanc obtained 16.7% of the vote. LREM Yann Chucherat shows on the third step of the podium by collecting 14.9% of the votes.
Lyons voters vote in two separate ballot boxes for these municipal elections: one is specific to the City, with municipal councilors elected within nine electoral sectors, which cut across the nine districts of the municipality. The other election concerns the metropolis, which has had vast powers since 2015. The inhabitants of the 59 municipalities of the metropolis, divided into 14 constituencies, will appoint 150 metropolitan councilors. The latter will then elect a president of the Lyon Metropolis.
