Éric Zemmour’s explicit confirmation on BFMTV in mid-September 2026 that he intends to run for president has anchored trader consensus around his selection as Reconquête’s 2027 nominee. As party founder and president, Zemmour stated he is “a candidate for the presidency of the Republic” and plans a formal declaration later in the autumn, closing weeks of speculation about his partner, MEP Sarah Knafo. Knafo has repeatedly endorsed him as the party’s “natural candidate,” described their roles as complementary, and channeled her recent visibility into a bestselling book critiquing public finances while rejecting a presidential bid of her own. Their joint appearances at the party’s September summer university further signaled internal unity without rivalry. These statements and Zemmour’s institutional position explain the strong implied probability favoring him over Knafo for the nomination.
