As expected, the elections were hotly contested, with five of the six lists managing to qualify for the second round. The latter is necessary, as none of the lists having managed to win the absolute majority of the votes cast in the first round. The Rassemblement Saint-Martinois led by Louis Mussington finished first with 16 seats (an increase of 11), ahead of the Union for Democracy list of the outgoing chairman of the council, Daniel Gibbs, which lost 13 seats.[2]
