Jean-Luc Melenchon announces candidacy for 2027 French presidential election
Jean-Luc Melenchon, leader of France's left-wing Unbowed party, announced on Sunday that he will run in the 2027 presidential election. This will be his fourth presidential bid, following campaigns in 2012, 2017, and 2022, when he finished third with 22 percent of the vote, narrowly missing a runoff spot. Melenchon has grown his vote share in each successive campaign and will face a centrist field with President Macron term-limited and far-right rival Marine Le Pen facing potential electoral restrictions.
