David Lisnard accelerates his campaign for the 2027 presidential election

On November 3, 2026, David Lisnard, Nouvelle Énergie candidate and mayor of Cannes, states on BFMTV that polls argue for a primary on the right and asserts he is the closest to Bruno Retailleau. He promises a « gouvernement commando » if elected and receives the support of a former French footballer. On November 4, he defends a French ambition regarding artificial intelligence, welcomes Patrick Sébastien's support, and moves from virtual campaigning to the ground, with a rally scheduled in Lyon in December. On November 5, he is presented as a « invité surprise » of the presidential election and rises in a new poll, while an LR MP meets him « par curiosité » and a poll indicates the French favor a primary of the right and center. On November 6, with over 100,000 claimed members, his candidacy still faces challenges of audience and local implantation.
