A third presidential term is expected to be pursued for the presidency of France by Emmanuel Macron, but in the elections of 2032! Emmanuel Macron is leaving open, according to French political analysts, the possibility of being a candidate again for the presidency of the French Republic in 2032. The current president does not have the right to run as a candidate in the 2027 presidential elections, since the French Constitution limits consecutive terms in the French presidency to two. However, he does have the right to seek a third term, if he so wishes, in 2032, when he will be 54 years old.
The analyses about a third term were triggered by the French president’s speech to his party’s youth last Saturday where he said, “I want you beside me for the next two years, for the next five years, for the next ten years.”
According to political analysts, with this intervention Emmanuel Macron “clipped” the ambitions of the current general secretary of his “Renaissance” party and former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal. Relations between the two men have cooled after Macron’s decision to call early parliamentary elections in June 2024. However, in the modern political history of France, only Valéry Giscard d’Estaing (1974-1981) and Nicolas Sarkozy (2007-2012) attempted to be re-elected after the end of their term in the French presidency, and they failed.
