Xavier Bertrand filed Wednesday October 27 his sponsorships of elected officials to participate in the Congress of Republicans nominating the candidate for the presidential election, Franceinfo learned from his entourage, confirming information from RTL. “427 referrals” were deposited, announced Pierre-Henri Dumont, deputy secretary general of the party and support of Xavier Bertrand.
“By adding the support received since Sunday, we greatly exceed the 500 signatures”, he assured on Twitter, is double what is required by the party (250 sponsorships) to participate in the congress, which will take place on December 4.
Her competitor Valérie Pécresse has already submitted the required sponsorships last week, we learned from those around her. Eric Ciotti, meanwhile, has received at least 300 sponsorships, which will be transmitted within a few days due to a scheduling problem, his team explains to franceinfo.
Michel Barnier has “exceeded 500 referrals” elected officials, assures his entourage, but his team does not want “not to be in the shallot race” concerning the number. They will be filed by the deadline, November 2.
On the side of the candidates less known to the public, the doctor Philippe Juvin is still waiting for forms but hopes to reach the threshold required to participate in the congress. On the other hand, the entrepreneur Denis Payre and his team are struggling to obtain sponsorship. His camp believes it has been handicapped by the attitude of the party in this internal campaign.
