2027 French presidential election candidates
Overview
The 2027 French presidential election cycle has seen the emergence of several candidates focused on national sovereignty and economic independence.
In September 2026, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, leader of Debout la France, launched his campaign with a platform centered on ‘Frexit’—the withdrawal of France from the European Union. He argued this move is required to ‘decolonize France’ and restore control over economic, budgetary, and migratory policies. His platform also includes calls to end financial aid to Ukraine.
In October 2026, journalist and essayist Natacha Polony officially announced her candidacy under her movement ‘Nous sommes la France’. Speaking on France Inter, Polony stated that her decision was driven by a necessity to address a state of ‘chaos’ in France, aiming to represent ‘political orphans’ who feel disconnected from traditional parties. Her platform emphasizes republican sovereignty, including economic, energetic, and food sovereignty, with a strong focus on reindustrialization to support the state’s social model. She criticized the current administration under Emmanuel Macron for ‘impotence, illegibility, irresponsibility, and incapacity to think.’
Recent polling indicates that Marine Le Pen of the Rassemblement National holds a strong position, leading in multiple scenarios. Some projections suggest she could secure between 56% and 68% of the vote in potential second-round matchups against rivals such as Jean-Luc Mélenchon or Édouard Philippe. In the Grand Est region, Le Pen has shown support reaching up to 43% in certain configurations. Economic concerns, particularly purchasing power, have emerged as a primary driver for voters, with 56% of respondents citing it as their top priority.
