Christian Estrosi has officially confirmed what everyone already knew, and the list of candidates for the upcoming municipal elections is almost complete. There is no doubt that the current mayor is the front-runner for the race and, in a particular scenario, he could even be elected in the first round.
The announcement was made official on his Twitter account:
@cestrosi
Being the Mayor of Nice is a tremendous honor and a great responsibility every day. Yes, in March, I will once again seek your trust.
His extensive experience in public affairs, his thorough knowledge of the city, his powerful associative and personal networks, his extraordinary work capacity, his presence on the ground, his decisive handling of issues, his iron hand behind a conciliatory smile, and his ambition make Christian Estrosi the natural candidate, if not the favorite, for this upcoming election.
For this purpose, a letter should arrive in the 68,000 mailboxes of Nice residents starting this Saturday morning to explain the reasons for this candidacy, which seemed delayed to some. Declaring that he wanted to focus on the management of the city before taking on the role of a candidate, which puts him on the starting line with other political competitors, the Mayor of Nice is officially entering the campaign.
However, in politics, anything is always possible, as we know, and victory in an election is only declared after counting the votes… one by one!
The race is on, therefore…
