However, on January 28, 2024, the list of the outgoing mayor won. Narrowly, with four votes in advance. A close score which allowed the opposition, led by Christian Decouche, to obtain three seats out of the 15 on the municipal council. So far nothing abnormal… Except that five days later, Jean-Claude Morin announced his resignation as well as that of his eleven elected running mates. The new balance of power did not suit the outgoing mayor who was aiming for all fifteen seats on the municipal council. “Our list, although in the majority, did not achieve the expected result,” Jean-Claude Morin said in a press release. “Our municipality cannot be administered in a climate of announced animosity. To our great regret, we all together made the decision to resign.”
The opponent’s surprise
“I know them by heart. I don’t want to suffer constant attacks. What they are peddling in the town is serious,” added, regarding his opposition, Jean-Claude Morin, contacted by “Sud Ouest”. The mayor who won the January 28 election also indicated that he no longer wanted to solicit the votes of voters. “Surprised” by this massive express resignation, Christian Decouche responded by jabbing his opponent: “He who presented himself as a boat captain, did not take long to jump over the rail”.
