Gérard Larcher, the incumbent president of the French Senate since 2014 and a Les Républicains senator, has publicly signaled his intent to seek a new three-year term following the September 27, 2026, partial renewal of 178 seats. As leader of the dominant right-center majority coalition, he has actively supported aligned candidates in the indirect elections by grands électeurs and positioned himself to secure reelection by the reconstituted Senate, likely in October. Recent statements and campaign involvement underscore broad backing within his group, with no prominent challengers emerging. This continuity underpins the 90.5% implied probability for his reelection, reflecting the structural advantage of the majority bloc and the procedural timeline for electing the chamber's presiding officer after the vote.
