Michèle Rubirola, head of a left-wing coalition, came out on top in Marseille in the second round of the municipal elections, ahead of candidate LR Martine Vassal, according to two estimates from pollsters.

The ecologist collects 39.9% of the votes, ahead of Martine Vassal (29.8%) and the candidate of the National Rally Stéphane Ravier (19.8%), according to Harris Interactive Epoka for TF1-LCI and RTL. Bruno Gilles, dissident LR, collects 6.2%, Samia Ghali (DVG) 2.7% and Yvon Berland (LREM-UDI) 1.6%.

At the head of Printemps Marseille (PS / EELV / PCF / LFI), Michèle Rubirola obtains 39.4% of the votes, ten points ahead of Martine Vassal 29.4%, and Stéphane Ravier at 20.5%, according to Elabe Berger-Levrault for BFMTV and Le Parisien. Bruno Gilles obtains 6.1%, Samia Ghali 2.7% and Yvon Berland 1.9%, according to this institute.

The poll was marked despite the stake by a record abstention around 65%, according to the two institutes, less than one in three voters who came to vote.
