The former French environment minister Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet was elected on Monday night as centre-right candidate for the Paris mayoral election next year.
After a chaotic “electronic election”, entirely conducted on the internet, Ms Kosciusko-Morizet, 39, the favourite, won outright with 58 per cent of the 20,000 votes cast.
There will therefore be no second round and “NKM”, as she is known, will be the principal challenger to another woman, the Paris deputy mayor, Anne Hidalgo next year. It now seems certain, as long expected, that Parisians will elect a woman as mayor, for the first time , in the municipal elections next spring.
