Jordan Bardella has been re-elected leader of France’s National Rally (RN), taking 98.98 per cent of votes cast at the party congress in Orléans. He was the only candidate.
The party said 75,497 members voted for Bardella and 779 cast blank ballots. The result was announced at the congress, which is being held this weekend in the central French city.
Before the result was announced, Bardella thanked members for their support and said he would need them again to help Marine Le Pen reach the Elysée, according to Le Monde. Le Pen, RN’s political leader, is leading in polls for France’s 2027 presidential election, the report said.
The congress is taking place amid security concerns. Nieuws.nl reported that Orléans’s mayor had imposed a weekend curfew on children under 15, while French media expected thousands of people to attend. Demonstrations were also expected across France, with concern about possible renewed unrest.
