Les Républicains Embark on Comprehensive Party Overhaul

The party initiates a leadership transition and strategic refoundation following Eric Ciotti's departure and recent electoral setbacks.

Les Républicains have established a temporary collegial leadership team to guide the party until a new president is elected, potentially in early 2025.
Laurent Wauquiez is tasked with leading a mission to redefine the party's structure and ideology, aiming to modernize and adapt to current political landscapes.
The party faces significant challenges, including financial difficulties and a decline in membership, exacerbated by recent political alliances and electoral defeats.
Laurent Wauquiez's leadership ambitions are under scrutiny, with some party members questioning his strategic decisions and urging a more decisive approach.
The departure of Eric Ciotti, who formed a new party, has left Les Républicains in a precarious position, necessitating urgent organizational and ideological renewal.
