Rivalry between Bruno Retailleau and David Lisnard for the 2027 presidential election

In late October 2026, a new poll places David Lisnard ahead of Bruno Retailleau in the perspective of the 2027 presidential election. Robert Ménard then estimates that neither of the two is capable of winning the election, while Bruno Retailleau confides in several interviews and addresses a letter to French Muslims. On October 26, a Cluster 17 poll for Politico credits Marine Le Pen with 33% of voting intentions and confirms that David Lisnard leads Bruno Retailleau, while members of Nouvelle Énergie organize a support evening for Lisnard in Poitiers. The question of the primary of the right and the center returns to the debate, Bruno Retailleau saying he is convinced he would beat Édouard Philippe in a primary. Louis Aliot evokes a possible future collaboration with David Lisnard, before calling on Retailleau and Lisnard to join the RN for the presidential election.
