According to the results of the first round, Karim Ben Cheïkh (EELV-NFP) came out on top with 51.57% (but less than 25% of registered voters), ahead of Samira Djouadi (Renaissance-Ensemble) credited with 15.70% of the votes. With 10.64% of the votes, Élodie Charron (RN) was automatically eliminated.
