Twelve candidates will be able to take part in the vote of April 10th. Since 2002, no presidential election has seen less than ten candidates, and the maximum had been reached in 2002 with sixteen contenders. It is the first two votes of the V e Republic, in 1965 and 1969, which counted the least candidates, respectively six and seven.

There is a relative renewal of the candidates since only five on twelve candidates have never participated in a presidential election; Fabien Roussel (French Communist Party, PCF), Anne Hidalgo (Socialist Party, PS), Yannick Jadot (Europe Ecology-Les Verts, EELV), Valérie Pécresse (Republicans, LR) and Eric Zemmour (reconquet!).

The seven others were already candidates for the previous presidential election, as the outgoing President, Emmanuel Macron (on the move!), or Jean Lassalle (resist!). It will be even the third participation in a row for five of them: Nathalie Arthaud (Workers’ Fighting, Lo), Philippe Poutou (new anticapitalist party, NPA), Jean-Luc Mélenchon (France unsuitable, LFI), Nicolas Dupont- Aignan (Standing France, DLF) and Marine Le Pen (National Gathering, Rn).

In the last presidential elections, they are in the major parties that organized primers, on the left (PS), on the right (LR) or among the ecologists that we observe a greater renewal of candidates.

The longevity palm returns to the candidate Arlette Laguiller (LO), who participated in six successive polls between 1974 and 2007. On the side of the far right, the Family Le Pen (National Front then Rn) took eight presidential elections; Five for Jean-Marie Le Pen between 1974 and 2007 then three for his daughter Marine Le Pen since 2012.
