The results of the Perpignan municipal survey, carried out by Ifop for L’Indépendant du Midi, confirm that Louis Aliot appears to be the favorite for the March 2026 election.
In the four configurations tested, the incumbent mayor would garner between 43% and 44% of voting intentions, which would put him clearly in the lead and mark an increase of around 8 points on his first-round score in 2020.
While the joint Les Républicains-Horizons list would obtain between 12% and 15.5% of the vote and be in a position to hold on to the second round, the situation is more fragmented in the center and on the left. In a four-list scenario, the La France insoumise list, led by Mickaël Idrac, would come out on top with 16% of voting intentions, ahead of those of the Socialist Party (11%), Place Publique (9%) and Annabelle Brunet’s centrist list (7%).
The union of the Place Publique and Parti Socialiste lists would produce different dynamics depending on the list leader. Led by Agnès Langevine, this union list would obtain 21% of voting intentions and would establish itself as the leading left-of-center force for the second round. On the other hand, if it were led by Mathias Blanc, it would win only 15% of the vote, placing it neck-and-neck with the La France insoumise list led by Mickaël Idrac (17%).
Lastly, Agnès Langevine, a candidate from the center and the left (excluding LFI), would be credited with 22% of voting intentions.
