Incumbent Mayor Jean Tiberi faced Bertrand Delanoë of the Socialist Party, a Paris councilor and member of the Senate. Tiberi also faced a challenger from the right in Philippe Séguin, the former president of France's National Assembly, due to Tiberi having split off from the RPR to form his own dissident faction within the Council of Paris. Tiberi also faced green city councilor Yves Contassot. Due to the division within the RPR, the center-right vote was split which allowed Delanoë's Socialists to come to power for the first time since an independent Paris mayorship was re-established in 1977.Liste Jean Tiberi, RPR dissident.http://www.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/europe/03/19/france.elections/index.html Socialists win in Paris elections 19 March 2001 Control for the mayorships of Paris's 20 arrondissements was also in play.
