Overview

• Gabriel Attal said Renaissance would join the “dynamic of rassemblement” around Jean‑Michel Aulas alongside local referent Thomas Rudigoz.
• Les Républicains’ national commission is scheduled to decide on Aulas’s formal investiture at a meeting in Paris on Tuesday evening.
• Aulas has indicated he will run without a party label and earlier obtained the withdrawal of LR’s Pierre Oliver under Laurent Wauquiez’s aegis.
• UDI and Horizons have also declared support for Aulas, expanding the centrist and right‑leaning alliance.
• Renaissance plans to take part in campaign governance, with Attal heading a list in Lyon’s 5th arrondissement, and Aulas is set to launch his campaign Friday at H7 in Confluence.
