He was not re-elected in the first round but arrived, in his own words, "very largely in mind". Christian Estrosi, the outgoing LR mayor of Nice, obtained Sunday 47.6% of the votes in the first round of the municipal election, during which he seeks a third mandate. Two other lists are in position to stay in the second round, that of the RN candidate from the Bloc Identitaire Philippe Vardon (16.7%) and the Nice Ecological list of the entrepreneur Jean-Marc Governatori (11.3%).
Participation was limited to 28.6%, 25 points lower than in 2014, said Christian Estrosi. This first round was marked by the division on the left: the citizen list led by the left lawyer Mireille Damiano, the PCF and LFI, ahead with 8.91% the socialist list (6.57%).
