Overview

• Retailleau expanded LR’s leadership by appointing 13 vice-presidents and overhauling the bureau politique and investiture commission at the national council.
• His slate of vice-presidents integrates supporters of both his and Wauquiez’s factions to foster internal unity.
• The party’s ranks have grown to more than 120,000 members ahead of its summer congress scheduled for September 6-7 in Port-Marly.
• LR will reject a nationwide electoral pact for the March municipal elections and negotiate alliances locally to advance its candidates and counter leftist lists.
• Retailleau has supplemented his team with four special advisers and a project group to refine policy proposals for upcoming electoral cycles.
