[edit]mayorless (not comparable)
- Without a mayor.
- 1977 March 6, James F. Clarity, “Mayoral Race In Paris Shows Chaos Leading”, in The New York Times[1]:
- The capital had been left mayorless, administered by a government‐appointed prefect who had no political reason to heed the virtually powerless city council, largely because French heads of state from Napoleon to de Gaulle feared that a mayor of Paris would become an instant challenger for national power.
