• Emmanuel Macron and Jean-Luc Mélenchon almost arrived neck and neck, Sunday evening in Lyon, during the first round of the presidential election.

  • With 31.8% of the vote, the outgoing president is closely followed by rebellious France (31.1%).

  • Qualified for the second round, Marine Le Pen yet performs a flop in Lyon while environmentalists fail to transform the municipal test.

Sunday evening, the environmental activists of Lyon had the head of the bad days by discovering the result of their candidate Yannick Jadot.

Two years after conquering the second city of France, the Greens have not transformed the test for the presidential even if between Rhône and Saône, the score of Jadot (7.67%) is higher than that which was recorded in the national level (4.49%).

As we know, the issues of municipal and presidential elections are not the same.

But environmentalists have missed their bet in Lyon.

The voters who mobilized more than in 2017 (18.07% abstention against 19.64% five years ago) placed Emmanuel Macron and Jean-Luc Mélenchon neck and neck with a very slight lead for the first.

Macron consolidates his position, the youth seduced by Mélenchon

Put into orbit on his land by Gérard Collomb, the outgoing president consolidates his position five years later, by totaling 31.8% of the vote, i.e. 1.5 points more than in 2017. But his electoral base has changed somewhat physiognomy.

This time, Emmanuel Macron has mainly obtained the favors of the center right and seniors.

The youth of Lyon and the supporters of the left, who had carried it in 2017, mainly reported on France Insoumise.

With 31.1% of the votes cast in his favour, Jean-Luc Mélenchon is hot on the heels of the outgoing president.

He improves his score by almost 9 points in five years, siphons off part of the environmental voices and confirms the thrust of the radical left in a city, formerly described as centrist.

An unprecedented situation since Lyon had never been split to this point.

The extreme right struggling, the right in free fall

The results recorded on Sunday evening also confirm that the far right has never really performed too well in Lyon, with a few rare exceptions.

Marine Le Pen is relegated to third position far behind the leading duo.

With 8.97% of the vote, she maintains her 2017 score (8.86%) while Eric Zemmour totals 7.65% of the vote.

The other local surprise of the ballot results in the collapse of the Republicans.

Weighed down on a national scale, the right has not been able to save honor between Rhône and Saône.

If François Fillon had come second in 2017 in Lyon with a score of 23.41%, Valérie Pécresse totaled Sunday evening a result four times lower: 5.57%, which places her in sixth position.

Unheard of again in the voting booths of Lyon.
