Voters went to polls on Sunday in the first round of municipal elections to choose leadership teams across France. The election is seen as a test for political parties' electoral machines before next year's presidential election to find a successor to President Emmanuel Macron. Although largely focused on grassroot issues, analysts are looking for early hints of how parties may fare in the 2027 elections. The vote is also taking place in the context of the war in the Middle East and other major global concerns.
