Presidential Election 2027: Mélenchon Officializes His Fourth Candidacy on TF1

Jean-Luc Mélenchon announced his candidacy for the 2027 presidential election during the 8 PM news on TF1, stating that the decision was driven by geopolitical and social contexts. This marks his fourth attempt after failures in 2012, 2017, and 2022, where he received 22% of the votes in the last election. The left remains divided on a unified primary, and Mélenchon is polling between 10 and 11% of voting intentions, with some considering him the worst candidate for a second round.
