Episode Details

Former French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe faces a potential setback in his presidential aspirations as a recent poll shows him losing the Le Havre mayoral election runoff to Communist challenger Jean-Paul Lecoq. Philippe, a centrist, has held the mayors seat since 2010 and was seen as a top contender to challenge far-right figures in the 2027 presidential race. However, a local loss could damage his national hopes, as he admitted to reporters. Despite recent national polls showing his edge against the far right, margins are narrow, and Philippes team is now scrambling to secure support for the upcoming municipal election.
