Emmanuel Macron’s second presidential term ends in May 2027 under France’s two-consecutive-term limit, with the next presidential election scheduled for April 18 and May 2. As of September 2026 he is widely viewed as a lame duck presiding over a fragmented National Assembly, repeated government collapses, and low approval ratings. He has repeatedly ruled out early resignation or snap presidential elections despite pressure from opposition parties and some former allies, and has stated he will leave active politics after his mandate concludes. Recent months have featured further prime ministerial turnover and budget negotiations, yet no procedural change has altered the fixed electoral timeline or constitutional bar on a third consecutive term. Traders therefore focus on whether any late crisis could force an earlier vacancy before the scheduled handover.
