Convicted far-right politician Marine Le Pen has been cleared by an appeals court to run for president in 2027, however she must continue to wear an ankle monitoring bracelet while campaigning. In 2025, a French court sentenced 57-year-old Le Pen to a five-year ban from public office and a two-year prison sentence for misusing EU funds. The conviction has been upheld, but the ban shortened. French President Emmanuel Macron is unable to contest the next election due to term limits.
