The next French presidential election is currently expected to be held in April 2027. This market will resolve to “Yes” if the listed individual publicly announces that they are running for President in the 2027 French presidential election by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement by the listed individual of their candidacy will be sufficient to trigger a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they actually formally file their candidacy, or whether they actually appear on the ballot. Statements that merely indicate the listed individual is considering a run, is expected to run, or is being discussed as a possible candidate will not be sufficient. The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from the listed individual; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.France's 2027 presidential election features an open field after Emmanuel Macron's ineligibility for a third consecutive term, prompting a record number of declarations throughout 2026. More than 30 candidates have already announced, including Gabriel Attal, Édouard Philippe, Bruno Retailleau, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Raphaël Glucksmann, and Marine Le Pen following her July court ruling that cleared her to run. The Rassemblement National leads early polling, while the fragmented left organizes a primary and centrists weigh consolidation. Remaining decisions on candidacies, party nominations, and potential withdrawals before the April 2027 first round continue to shape positioning ahead of the required 500 parrainages.
