The list of people hoping to create an upset and unseat Emmanuel Macron is quickly growing with six months to go before France’s presidential election.
Macron has not yet announced he will be running for a second term but is widely expected to do so. His main challenger within the centrist La Republique en Marche party was thought to be former prime minister Edouard Philippe, but the mayor of Havre has unequivocally rejected throwing his hat into the ring.
Polls, for now, all point to a Macron victory but the French presidential election is notoriously unpredictable. Macron, himself, is the perfect example having launched a political movement just months before the 2017 election that he went on to win.
