Alexandra Masson

Alexandra Masson is a deputy in the French National Assembly. She is one of 107 deputies who ran as leading candidates in the recent municipal elections held on March 15th and 22nd, 2026. Masson successfully won the mayoral election in Menton. This victory makes her newsworthy because French law prohibits holding both a mayoral office and a seat in the National Assembly simultaneously. As a result, Masson, along with approximately 38 other deputies who also won mayoral races, now faces the decision of whether to resign from her parliamentary seat to serve as mayor of Menton, or to remain a deputy and relinquish the mayoral position. This situation highlights the issue of dual mandates and the choices elected officials must make when faced with such conflicts.
