However, she received only 20.26% of the votes in the first round, placing her behind incumbent mayor Simone Mathieu from the Left Party, who obtained 24.47% of the votes. She was also significantly behind Jean-Marie Vilain from the Ainsi va la ville association, who garnered 40.20% of the votes. As a result, she was compelled to withdraw from the election.
