Olivier Faure was confirmed Sunday winner of the vote of the members to designate the first secretary of the Socialist Party, at the end of a commission of verification, but his competitor, Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol, always contests the result, we have learned from both parties.
According to the verification commission, Olivier Faure, outgoing first secretary, won with 51.09% of the vote against 48.91% for Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol, said a press release from the PS. But Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol asks to resume the work of the commission, which “have been interrupted” and could not be completed, and accuses his rival of a “forced passage”.
