With 30%, Hidalgo, a Socialist, was comfortably ahead of conservative rival Rachida Dati’s 22% and the 17.7% garnered by Macron’s official candidate, former health minister Agnes Buzyn. A dissident from Macron’s party, Cedric Villani, won 8%. Lists of candidates above 5 percent can merge ahead of the runoff, making final results hard to predict.
Macron’s plan to conquer Paris City Hall had become near impossible after Villani, one of his lawmakers who was eventually kicked out, decided to defy the president and challenge the ruling party’s official candidate.
