Former France PM to run for president

China Daily  

Then French prime minister Edouard Philippe leaves the Elysee palace in Paris, France, Aug 29, 2017. Edouard Philippe, a prominent centrist figure and former prime minister of France under President Emmanuel Macron, has declared his intention to run in the country's 2027 presidential race. Since stepping down from his role as Macron's first prime minister in 2020, Philippe has maintained his popularity among the French public, having established Horizons, a new center-right political party of his own. Philippe's announcement has added another layer of complexity to France's already turbulent political landscape, which was recently shaken by unexpected parliamentary elections called by Macron. Amid ongoing negotiations to resolve the political gridlock, Philippe has officially announced his long-anticipated bid to replace Macron, who is ineligible for a third term in the 2027 presidential race due to constitutional term limits.
