Clichy-la-Garenne: Administrative Court Urged to Annul Municipal Election
The public rapporteur cites "fraudulent schemes" benefiting Republican Mayor Rémi Muzeau and recommends a new vote. The court's decision is expected on September 25.
A public rapporteur has recommended annulling the municipal election in Clichy-la-Garenne (Hauts-de-Seine), according to conclusions reported by Le Monde on September 17, 2026.
According to these conclusions, "fraudulent schemes" were allegedly "carried out for the benefit of Rémi Muzeau," the Republican (LR) mayor of the municipality. The public rapporteur believes these elements warrant "sending voters back to the polls."
The administrative court is scheduled to deliver its ruling on September 25, 2026. The public rapporteur's conclusions do not prejudge the final decision of the judges, who remain free to follow or reject this recommendation.
Le Monde clarifies that this case concerns suspected electoral fraud related to the municipal election in the municipality. No further details about the precise nature of the schemes in question have been disclosed at this stage.
