Mohed Altrad (miscellaneous), allied to two lists of leftists and environmentalists and Rémi Gaillard (miscellaneous) came third, with 18.12% of the votes cast. "I did not feel this outcome as a failure, writes the boss of the MHR, whose alliance between the two towers had somewhat bewildered. It is certainly a disappointment, but if I had to qualify my feeling, I would speak of pride rather than disappointment (…) I was a legitimate candidate. This observation encourages me to keep in touch with the people of Montpellier, to be at their disposal and to remain present in local political life. "
