Senate elections are scheduled to be held in France on September 27, 2026. The newly constituted Senate will convene following these elections to elect its President. This market will resolve to "Yes" if Gérard Larcher is reelected as President of the Senate (Président du Sénat) following the 2026 French Senate elections. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". To count for resolution, Gérard Larcher must be formally elected as President of the Senate following the 2026 French Senate elections. Any interim or caretaker President will not count toward the resolution of this market. If no such President is elected by May 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the French Senate (Sénat) (senat.fr); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Gérard Larcher’s strong position ahead of the September 27, 2026 Senate elections stems from the expected continuity of the center-right and centrist working majority in the upper chamber. As incumbent president since 2014 and a long-serving senator from Les Républicains, Larcher benefits from established coalition support among the indirect electoral college of local officials. No prominent alternative candidate has surfaced, and recent Senate activity shows no major shifts in group alignments that would disrupt his leadership. Traders price the 77 percent implied probability for reelection on this institutional stability, with resolution turning on the post-election vote in the newly constituted Senate rather than any single contest or external event.
