The latest projections for the second round of the 2026 municipal elections in Paris suggest a clear advantage for Emmanuel Grégoire. According to recent polls, he is predicted to secure victory with 53% of the votes against his competitor Rachida Dati. These forecasts follow significant political developments, including the rallying of Pierre-Yves Bournazel and the withdrawal of Sarah Knafo, events that had initially led analysts to anticipate a much tighter second-round contest in the capital.
