Overview

  • Jordan Bardella has confirmed he will serve as the Rassemblement National’s presidential candidate in 2027 if Marine Le Pen’s ineligibility is upheld.
  • Marine Le Pen was convicted in March 2025 for misappropriation of EU funds, receiving a five-year ineligibility sentence with immediate effect, which she is appealing.
  • Bardella has stressed his continued support for Le Pen, calling her his candidate and asserting their collaboration in the party’s interest.
  • He has ruled out running in any early legislative elections, focusing solely on his potential candidacy for the presidency and his readiness for leadership roles.
  • Le Pen’s appeal, scheduled for the first half of 2026, will determine whether her ineligibility is confirmed, leaving Bardella as the party’s contingency plan.
