Oumarou Doucouré

Oumarou Doucouré is a Socialist politician who recently ran for mayor of La Courneuve in the 2026 municipal elections. He was actively supported by the Socialist president of the department. Doucouré's candidacy is newsworthy because he narrowly lost the election to Aly Diouara, a candidate from La France Insoumise (LFI). The election was closely contested, with Diouara winning by only 243 votes, securing 51.53% of the vote compared to Doucouré's 48.47%. The campaign was described as 'heated', and Diouara's victory came after a fusion with another candidate. Doucouré's defeat highlights the political landscape in La Courneuve and the close competition between Socialist and LFI candidates in the region.
