Nudes, Together! and the RN, the new political map of Marseille
After a very tight second round against the rise of Nupes, especially in the north of the city, the presidential bloc remains victorious in Marseille, as in 2017, with 38% of the votes recognized against 37% for Nupes . It is, however, a sham victory: if the presidential bloc comes out on top in terms of percentages thanks to the scores obtained by certain candidates like Claire Pitollat (61%) and Lionel Royer-Perreaut (57, 88% ), it is kept tied with the Nupes with regard to the number of deputies : three everywhere. The National Rally, meanwhile, is nibbling ground in the 3rd constituency and still indicated 24% of the vote.
Marseille: the south won over to Ensemble!
Until the last moment, the suspense was at its height: who to take over from LR Julien Ravier, sentenced to a sentence of ineligibility? It’s finally the candidate set! Sabrina Roubache which trumps the RN Monique Grisetti, with a tight score of 50% against 49%, on this territory but won by the National Rally during the presidential election and the first round of legislative elections.

In the 2nd constituency (7th/8th arrondissements), the outgoing MP Claire Pitollat keep her seat: she has a score of 68% against the candidate Nupes and ecologist alexander rupnik (37.8%).
Finally, the third MP for Marseille from the majority, although ex LR, is Lionel Royer-Perreautwho wins over the RN candidate Eleanor Bez. Being also mayor of 9/10, he will have to give up this function to sit in the National Assembly.
The North torn between RN and Nupes
The Nupes also won three seats: France Insoumise continued, as in 2017, in the 4th constituency, where the successor Jean-Luc Mélenchon Manuel Bompard is elected with an overwhelming majority over 73% against the candidate of the presidential majority Najat Akodad.
The union of the left also nibbles on the former LREM lands: it thus wins in the 5th constituency, where Hendrik David is victorious against the outgoing Cathy Racon Bouzon. Ditto in the 7th, formerly represented by the deputy LREM Saïd Ahamada, beaten in the first round. It is now Sebastien Delogu (Nupes) who will carry the voice of this constituency in the Assembly.
On the other hand, the Nupes loses its bet on the 3rd district: hitherto represented by the deputy Agir Alexandra Louis, its voters had placed the militant Insoumis Mohammad Bensaada in the lead on the evening of the first lap. However, he is losing this June 19 against the candidate of the National Rally Gisele Lelouis
