France will hold new presidential elections on April 18 and May 2
France will hold presidential elections on April 18 and May 2 next year, with the decision to be publicly announced after a cabinet meeting. President Emmanuel Macron cannot seek a third term, leading to multiple candidates, including former prime ministers Edouard Philippe and Gabriel Attal, and Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The National Rally party has not decided whether Marine Le Pen or Jordan Bardella will run due to a court ruling on Le Pen’s appeal.
