The 2012 French presidential election is the next presidential election to be held in April and May 2012 (if no candidate receives a majority of votes in the first round of voting). President Nicolas Sarkozy will be eligible to run for his second and final term during this election.

Union for a Popular Movement

Openly Interested

On July 2009 in front of UMP Members of parliament Sarkozy said "In the worst or at best, you still have it for seven and a half years with me!". MP Patrick Balkany and Elysée confirm that the possibility of a primary challenge is close to zero.

Hypothetical candidates

As of April 2009, no person has announced their intention to run for the UMP nomination in 2012. Incumbent President Nicolas Sarkozy is serving his first term and will be eligible for re-election in 2012 barring death, incapacitation or resignation. If Sarkozy runs for re-election he will be unlikely to face opposition from within his party.

However only 29% of French voters favour the incumbent seeking a second term in 2012, 55% are opposed to Sarkozy running again.[3].
