STRAIGHT. The Republicans: Bruno Retailleau or Laurent Wauquiez, who will be elected party president?

At noon, the participation rate is 63 %. The consultation is fully done online.

Laurent Wauquiez fired any wood during this campaign with very right-handed proposals such as the sending of OQTF to Saint Pierre-Et-Miquelon. Erying as “model for the right”, the ultra Italian present Giorgia Meloni, begged for a manifestation of the right that varies from the guardian of the seals, former Gérald Darmanin, to the Eurodiput of Zemmouriste, Sarah Knafo (excluding RN and his Allies).

In front of him, Interior Minister Bruno Retilleau assumes his choice to have joined the government of the centrist François Bayrou to prevent the “mixed left” from coming to power. It also benefits from the clemency of Édouard Philippe, who addressed “Trumpism at the foot” by Laurent Wauquiez.

The general secretary of the party, Annie Ginebard, also Minister of Agriculture, will announce the results at the Parisian headquarters of the Republicans around 7 pm

However, if Bruno Retailleau is given the favorite against Laurent Wauquiez, the voting system means that the result is uncertain, however: the number of members has practically tripled during the campaign, from 43,859 to 121,617, without possible to determine who will benefit from these recruits, led by the two candidates.

Hello everyone, welcome to this direct dedicated to the election of the president of the Les Republicins party.

The members, who began to vote on Saturday afternoon on the Internet on Saturday, have until 6 pm to designate the one who took the vacancy since the former chief Éric Ciotti chose almost a year ago to ally in the RN during the early legislative elections.

In front of them, two candidates: Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau and the head of deputies LR Laurent Wauquiez.
