3 prediction markets price this story:

• Will Sébastien Lecornu be the next leader out before 2027? — the market puts it at 2%, with $2k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The Yes outcome requires Sébastien Lecornu to permanently leave his office before December 31, 2026. Temporary roles, caretaker positions, or mere resignation announcements do not count toward this result. Readers often mistake the deadline as the end of 2027 instead of late 2026.
• Sébastien Lecornu — the market puts it at 0%, closing 30 May 2028. The market resolves to Yes if Sébastien Lecornu wins the next French presidential election. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake this outcome for being tied to his current role as Prime Minister or other political appointments.
• Will Sébastien Lecornu win the 2027 French presidential election? — the market puts it at 0%, with $26k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 19 Apr 2027. The Yes outcome occurs if Sébastien Lecornu wins the 2027 French presidential election as determined by a consensus of credible reporting or official results from the French Ministry of the Interior. The No outcome applies if he does not win, including scenarios where another candidate secures over 50% in the first round or wins the runoff.
