David Lisnard, leader of Nouvelle Énergie, has announced he will not run for the presidency of Les Républicains (LR) and will instead support Bruno Retailleau.

Lisnard emphasized the importance of uniting the right around a strong, transformative project to address France's challenges.

The two leaders have agreed on key policy points, including economic liberalization, decentralization, and educational reform.

Lisnard believes this partnership will strengthen Nouvelle Énergie’s influence while modernizing LR.

Retailleau’s candidacy aims to rally the right and prepare for future electoral victories.

Lisnard’s decision reflects his commitment to building a cohesive and effective political alternative.
