Who are the candidates from Alpes-Maritimes vying for the position of senator? There will be 8 at the starting line, but only one will reach the finish. 15 days until the verdict.
The senatorial elections will take place on September 28. They aim to elect 178 senators. In Alpes-Maritimes, 2,031 grand electors will elect 5 senators.
The submission of candidacies ended this Friday.
Current state of the forces present in the department with a total of 8 lists submitted to the prefecture of Alpes-Maritimes:
No. 1: DEBOUT LA REPUBLIQUE ALPES-MARITIMES List (Top of the list: Mr. Thierry GIORGIO)
No. 2: BLEU MARINE POUR NOS VILLES ET NOS VILLAGES List (Top of the list: Mrs. Lydia SCHENARDI)
No. 3: LA VOIX DES TERRITOIRES List (Top of the list: Mr. Jean-Pierre LELEUX)
No. 4: UNE NOUVELLE ENERGIE POUR LES ALPES-MARITIMES List (Top of the list: Mrs. Annabelle JAEGER)
No. 5: MER ET MONTAGNE List (Top of the list: Mr. Olivier BETTATI)
No. 6: POUR GARANTIR L’EXISTENCE DES COMMUNES, LA DEMOCRATIE ET LES SERVICES PUBLICS List (Top of the list: Mr. Gérard PIEL)
No. 7: ALPES-MARITIMES SOLIDAIRES List (Top of the list: Mr. Marc Daunis)
No. 8: UNION POUR LES ALPES-MARITIMES List (Top of the list: Mrs. Dominique ESTROSI SASSONE)
The head of the UMP group list, Dominique Estrosi-Sassone, municipal councilor of Nice, and general councilor of Alpes-Maritimes, seems assured of being elected senator. She hopes to present 5 UMP elected officials out of the 5 seats to be renewed and to participate in shifting the assembly to the right.
The socialist senator Marc Daunis, also supported by the MRC and the PRG, hopes to retain his seat, which is currently the only one held by the left in the department. However, the task proves to be complicated.
As a reminder, in addition to the current 5 senators, the 9 elected deputies are also from the right.
Estimates give 3 senators to the UMP list, while the other two will be chosen among Jean-Pierre Leleux, Olivier Bettati, and Marc Daunis.
In Alpes-Maritimes, the currently elected senators from the last 2008 elections are: Marc Daunis – Socialist group and related members, Colette Giudicelli – UMP group, Jean-Pierre Leleux – UMP group, Hélène Masson-Maret – UMP group, and Louis Nègre – UMP group.
