David Lisnard, his 2027 campaign and the right-wing primary
On October 29, 2026, Hervé Morin judged that the right-wing primary is "the last chance", while David Lisnard spoke at the AMF congress in the Drôme. On October 30, an editorial pointed to a possible conflict of interest linked to David Lisnard's dual role, and communist mayors called for his withdrawal from the presidency of the AMF; Nouvelle Énergie announced a meeting in Lyon on December 13. Late October and early November, David Lisnard won over new supporters in the Allier and his party claimed a dynamic in Corsica. Pressure mounted on Édouard Philippe for a primary of the right and center, while Jean-François Copé affirmed there will be no primary and described David Lisnard as an "autumn candidate". David Lisnard ultimately assured that he will not govern with the RN.
