2027 presidential election: right and center primary and Lisnard candidacy

On October 28, 2026, Gérard Larcher declares he is not a candidate for the 2027 presidential election, after being suggested by Yaël Braun-Pivet as a possible single candidate "from MoDem to the Republican right". In the following days, the procedures and legitimacy of a joint right and center primary are debated, while David Lisnard proposes freezing pensions above 2,200 euros and develops a digital campaign. Hervé Morin calls this primary "the last chance", while Édouard Philippe and Xavier Bertrand oppose it and Éric Ciotti seeks to rally right-wing elected officials. Late October, David Lisnard is criticized for a possible conflict of interest linked to his presidency of the AMF, with communist mayors calling for his withdrawal, and his party announces a rally in Lyon on December 13.
