Laurent Wauquiez is the president of Auvergne - Rhône-Alpes. He faces a double challenge in the European elections in 2027.

The MEP, once again leader, needs everyone in a very tough electoral fight for the right. He has his eyes fixed on 2027 and therefore cannot allow his party to stumble too hard on the European hurdle. A key election for the candidate can be seen in the early months of 2027, when the MEPs will go to the polls.
