French Presidential Election 2022

After outgoing French Prime Minister Jean Castex earlier handed his resignation to the President. Emmanuel Macron today named Labour Minister Elisabeth Borne as his new Prime Minister, the first woman to head the French government in over 30 years.

President Emmanuel Macron is on Saturday to be inaugurated for a new term after his election victory over the far right made him the first French head of state for 20 years to win a second mandate.

French voters headed to the polls Sunday for the presidential run-off between centrist incumbent Emmanuel Macron and his challenger Marine Le Pen, whose far-right party appears set to have its strongest election showing ever.

France's electoral system is held over 2 rounds. In the first, anyone who meets the threshold criteria (this year, 12 candidates) can run. Assuming no one wins an absolute majority, the top two candidates go head to head in the second round.

Marine Le Pen has fought for years to make the far-right party she inherited electable, and is now set up for a tight runoff showdown against incumbent Emmanuel Macron for the French presidency.

The French will decide on April 24 whether to re-elect pro-business centrist President Emmanuel Macron or blow up decades of mainstream consensus in favour of far-right Marine Le Pen.

French President Emmanuel Macron will take his hunt for extra votes to the industrial heartlands of northern France on Monday, a blue-collar stronghold of his far-right rival Marine Le Pen who he will face in an April 24 presidential runoff vote.

President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday holds his first rally of the French election campaign, with far-right rival Marine Le Pen eating into what once seemed his unassailable lead barely a week ahead of the ballot.
