Summary: The confusion may come from 'forte' as used in music for strong or loud, which is definitely pronounced 'for tay' = /ˈfɔr teɪ/. In French, the same letters are pronounced 'fort' = /fɔrt/. But those languages are not English, and English has its own rules, inspired by the originals but with no compunction to remain faithful, at least here with the French borrowing.
Politics are very far from my forte, but it should be noted in passing that municipalities are not necessarily equivalent to cities everywhere. Some countries have municipalities (or local entities referred to in English as municipalities) that either comprise only part of a city or encompass several cities/towns.
It will be put up to you time after time that the soldier men's forte is fighting, and that a different class of brains is required for parliamentary work. That's the sort of guff and griffle the old has-beens, the ancient want-to-be's, and the slow-down Laborites are starring in the press and from the platform.
