French Presidential Election 2022 Polls: Candidates in Race to Replace Emmanuel Macron

As of November 2021, 28 candidates have shown their interest in running for the upcoming French Presidential election. Among the 28 candidates, a few important ones are:

Marine Le Pen – Rassemblement National

The far-right leader, Marine Le Pen was Macron’s main rival in the last election. This year too she is seen as the main rival to incumbent President Emmanuel Macron. After facing a landslide loss in 2017, she has moderated her image, rebranding and renaming her political party from National Front to National Rally, expelling extremist members of her party, including her father Jean-Marie who was president of the party from 1972 to 2011. He also ran for president and reached the second round in 2002.

Her main focus to drive the French voters has been the issue of immigration, globalisation and national security, while being largely supportive of abortion and same-sex relationships.

Eric Zemmour РReconqu̻te

Eric Zemmour has emerged as a potential threat to the right-wing leader Marine Le Pen. Eric Zemmour is a columnist, television pundit and author. He announced his candidacy for president on 5th December 2021 and created his own party known as Reconquête (Reconquest).

He has openly blamed immigration, and the “Islamisation” and “feminization” of society for the decline of France. He supports lower taxes, leaving NATO and reducing immigration to France to zero.

Jean-Luc M̩lenchon РLa France Insoumise

The left wing leader Jean-Luc Melenchon was able to win 20% of the votes in last French Presidential election. This time he has thrown weight behind reducing wealth inequality in France and expanding the power of labour and labour unions to help him secure the Presidential office. He has however struggled to gain traction this election as his popularity has waned and he polls in low double digits, usually in 5th position.

Anne Hidalgo – Parti Socialiste

Anne Hidalgo is the current Mayor of Paris. She won her second term in 2020 and after the win, she declared her candidacy for the President’s office. She won a Socialist Party primary on 14 October 2021 with 72% of the vote, making her the party’s candidate for the 2022 election.

She has called to rebuild the education and health systems of the nation while focusing on environmental policies to reduce air pollution by reducing car usage and increasing the use of public transport and bikes. These policies have been implemented in her 6 years as mayor of the French capital.
