"He is the best candidate on the left to win": Socialist Carole Delga officially announces her support for Raphaël Glucksmann in the presidential election
Marine Le Pen leads the French presidential candidates with 35% of the vote, BFM reports. According to an Ifop-Fiducia poll, the National Rally leader confidently holds first place eight months before the elections. In the previous poll, she was supported by 36% of respondents. The fight to reach the second round is expected to be much closer. Edouard Philippe is gaining 18-21%, and the leader of France Insoumise, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, is getting 17-19%. Moreover, Le Pen wins in all possible runoff scenarios. Against Edouard Philippe, she gains 52% to 48%, and against Jean-Luc Mélenchon, 67% to 33%. Marine Le Pen has already participated in the presidential elections three times and reached the second round twice. In March 2025, she was found guilty of embezzling funds from the European Parliament in a case involving the fictitious employment of party employees. Le Pen was sentenced to four years in prison, a €100,000 fine, and a five-year ban from holding elected office. In July 2026, an appeals court reduced the ban, so the politician retained the right to run in the 2027 elections. However, the guilty verdict remained in force. More IZ RU news in MAX

What is this event about?
The next French presidential election is currently expected to be held around April 2027. This market pertains to the outcome of the next French presidential election, regardless of whether it follows the scheduled end of the current term or is held earlier.
The President of France is elected via a two-round system; a candidate must secure over 50% of the vote to win outright in the first round. If no candidate achieves this, the top two contenders advance to a runoff.
This market will resolve according to the candidate who wins this election.
This market includes any potential second round. If, for any reason, the results of the election are not known by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other".
This market will resolve based on the result of the election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the French Government, specifically the Ministry of the Interior (https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/).
