PARIS, March 15 (Reuters) - Leftist incumbent mayor Benoit Payan is virtually tied with National Rally lawmaker Franck Allisio in the first round of the mayoral election in Marseille, France’s second-largest city, two exit polls showed on Sunday. 

The far-right National Rally has targeted Marseille as a test of its strength ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
