Thomas Cazenave

Thomas Cazenave is a deputy aligned with Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance party. He recently gained prominence by winning the mayoral election in Bordeaux on March 23, 2026. This victory is significant because he unseated the incumbent ecologist mayor, Pierre Hurmic, in a closely contested race. Cazenave's win is seen as a success for the Renaissance party, providing them with a major city after a mixed performance in the municipal elections. His victory was attributed to uniting the center and right-wing voters in Bordeaux. As a result of his election as mayor, Cazenave will have to choose between his seat in the National Assembly and his new role as mayor, as these positions cannot be held simultaneously. His success, along with Antoine Armand's victory in Annecy, is viewed as a win for technocratic deputies from the Renaissance party who have successfully established themselves in favorable cities.
