French President Emmanuel Macron has not ruled out the possibility of running for president again after completing his second term in 2027, according to a video released by Variety on September 25. When asked if he was considering a return for a third term, Macron responded with a laugh and said, "To be followed." He noted that the French Constitution allows for two consecutive terms but does not specify limits on the number of terms a person may hold in their lifetime. Macron stated he would finish his current term in May 2027 and that the French people would then elect someone else. However, he added, "I exclude nothing" and suggested that "life shows itself inventive, sometimes more than the movies."
Macron made these remarks during the Lumière Summit in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on September 7. His comments follow previous statements about his political future. In May 2025, during an interview on TF1, Macron said he had "not thought" about his political career beyond his second term, adding that he would "think about the future" after completing it. However, during the tenth anniversary of his movement Les Jeunes avec Macron in Paris, he suggested his political career might not end in 2027, saying he would "need (you) in two years, in five years, in ten years" and promised to be with his supporters.
The president’s remarks have sparked discussions about his long-term political ambitions. While Macron has not explicitly confirmed plans for a third term, his comments reflect an openness to remaining in public life beyond 2027. His political movement, Les Jeunes avec Macron, has been a key platform for engaging younger voters and maintaining his influence in French politics.
Macron’s entourage did not provide further comments on these statements when asked by BFMTV. The president’s potential future in politics remains uncertain, with his comments serving as a reminder of the evolving nature of political careers in modern France.
