If the candidates qualified for the second round of the presidential election offer a remake of 2017, in the regions, some have created a surprise. In Île-de-France, Jean-Luc Mélenchon (30.24%) creates the surprise and comes very slightly in the lead, neck and neck with Emmanuel Macron. Only 2,500 votes separate them, the leader LREM collecting 30.19%.

Who of Jean-Luc Mélenchon or Emmanuel Macron took over Paris? It is the outgoing president who wins in the capital, with 35.33%, by winning 13 districts out of 20, including the beautiful districts historically on the right.

With the exception of the departments of Yvelines, Hauts-de-Seine and Paris won by Emmanuel Macron, the rebellious leader came first in the five other departments of the Paris region. With a jump of more than eight points compared to 2017, Jean-Luc Mélenchon comes first in Ile-de-France in a very tight duel – 2,554 votes – with the outgoing president, who had largely imposed himself there ago. five years.

What about the other candidates?

Marine Le Pen comes third with 12.96% of the vote, a level slightly higher than her 2017 score. In Paris, Emmanuel Macron came first (35.33%) and won 13 arrondissements. In these former bastions of the right, Eric Zemmour (8.16%) came second in the 7th, 8th and 16th arrondissements, where he even reached 17.48%. Never in the capital had a far-right candidate reached this score.

As in 2017, Mélenchon (30.09%) won the 19th and 20th arrondissements, but also five new arrondissements. The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo comes in seventh position in the capital with 2.17%, a score slightly higher than at the national level.

In Ile-de-France, the president of the region and LR candidate, Valérie Pécresse reaches 6.20%. In its department of Yvelines, it barely exceeds 8%, while in its strongholds of Vélizy-Villacoublay and Versailles, it barely reaches 11% and 14%.

Mélenchon imposes itself in working-class neighborhoods

In the popular districts of the department, such as Trappes or Mantes-la-Jolie, Mélenchon largely prevails. Seine-Saint-Denis, a popular department in the north-eastern suburbs of Paris, was largely won by Mr. Mélenchon, with 49.09%, with impressive scores in Bobigny (60.14%) or Saint-Denis ( 61.13%). The abstention rate is the highest in the Paris region, with 30.21%.

In right-wing strongholds such as Versailles (33.05%), Maisons-Lafitte (42.19%) in Yvelines, Boulogne-Billancourt (45.62%) and Marne-la-Coquette (45.98%) in Hauts-de-Seine, Emmanuel Macron comes first, far ahead of Valérie Pécresse. In Seine-et-Marne, the most rural department of Ile-de-France, Mélenchon also came in first place with 25.86%, just ahead of Emmanuel Macron (25%) and Marine Le Pen (23.57 %).

Nicolas Dupont-Aignan loses his stronghold

In Val-de-Marne, the former “red suburb”, lost by the Communists during the last departmental elections, unsurprisingly benefited the rebellious candidate (32.67%), ahead of Emmanuel Macron (29.10%). Jean-Luc Mélenchon imposes himself largely in communist cities like Vitry or Ivry-sur-Seine.

In the Val d’Oise, the candidate of France Insoumise is also in the lead, with 33.17% of the vote. In Essonne, he is slightly ahead of Emmanuel Macron (28.09% against 27.66%). Finally, unlike 2012 and 2017, the sovereignist candidate Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, does not arrive in first position in Yerres (Essonne) of which he is deputy and mayor. He gets only 10.81% and comes in fourth place.
