Franco-Moroccan Politician Elected Mayor of Saint-Ouen, Shifting City Left

At the end of the second round of the municipal elections, Karim Bouamrane obtained 38.09%, thus beating the outgoing mayor, William Delannoy (32.53%) and the candidate Denis Vemclefs supported by the PCF and the former FG mayor, Jacqueline Rouillon (29.39%), reports Le Parisien.

"Now, we have something to write, all together. Living in Saint-Ouen should no longer be an obstacle but a source of pride, an asset. We will build a beautiful city. A city of shared progress, of excellence for all..." committed the new mayor.

For the former footballer, a lover of the Red Star, "being mayor was not a dream [...] But it became an obvious choice throughout the campaign, it was written..." he says.
