Jean-Luc Mélenchon
Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of La France insoumise, announced his fourth run for the 2027 presidential election on Sunday evening during TF1's 20 heures news. He conditions his candidacy on gathering 150,000 citizen endorsements, seen as a mere formality. The decision follows a meeting of LFI elected officials in Paris that day.

In the second round of the 2026 municipal elections, Jean-Luc Mélenchon's La France insoumise (LFI) won Roubaix, Creil, Vénissieux, and La Courneuve, following Saint-Denis in the first round. However, alliances with the rest of the left failed in the vast majority of cases, including in Toulouse, Besançon, Strasbourg, and Limoges.
