While official maps show district-by-district outcomes confirming Gregoire's win at polling stations nationwide in Paris on March 17th and early morning hours of Marheth the second round concluded with a decisive margin for his campaign against Dati, who was previously positioned as Macron key ally within local government circles following her earlier election.
