The exact date of the 2027 presidential election in France has been announced.
Medianews.az reports that the Council of Ministers has scheduled the first round for April 18 and the second round for May 2.
The president is elected every 5 years. Holding the presidential office for more than two consecutive terms is prohibited.
Emmanuel Macron won the presidential mandate in the 2017 and 2022 elections. Born in 1977, Emmanuel Macron has declared that he will leave politics after his second presidential term ends.
In France, the government is formed based on the results of both the presidential election and the election to the lower house of parliament — the National Assembly. The current National Assembly was formed in the snap election held in the summer of 2024. Although the Renaissance Party, aligned with the president, and its allies are in the minority in the National Assembly, they are still able to form the government.
