A primary will take place in 2016. This is a first right UMP looking for “more transparency” and “democracy,” officially recorded Tuesday night at a political office, organization of primary open in the center, in 2016, to designate its champion for president in the next year.
With the hope that this pre-presidential allow at least two million French to designate their champion for 2017, the 45 members of BP present (out of 61), brought little change in preparing text prepared by a team led by deputy Thierry Solère.
Just elected president UMP late 2014, Nicolas Sarkozy had ordered this close to Bruno Le Maire to complete discussions on the primary. For the sake of “transparency” and “gathering”, claimed by the tenors of the UMP still traumatized by two years of infighting, Sarkozy had formed a team where each candidate was declared or not represented.
He himself was represented by Brice Hortefeux, Francois Fillon Bernard Accoyer, Alain Juppe by Edouard Philippe, Xavier Bertrand by Damien Meslot, Hervé Mariton by Philippe Gosselin. Luc Chatel, former secretary general of the UMP, also part of the team.
On 20 and 27 November 2016
Open the center, the primary is held on 20 and 27 November 2016. Applicants have until September 9, 2016 to declare. The list will be made public no later than September 21, the High Authority (chaired by lawyer Anne Levade) responsible for the proper place of the whole operation.
For now officially candidates François Fillon, Alain Juppe, Xavier Bertrand and Christian Estrosi. Nicolas Sarkozy, who will leave the presidency of the UMP to campaign, should declare as late as possible.
Bruno Le Maire could also be a candidate, and Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, even Hervé Mariton.
After the BP, MM. Solère, Hortefeux and Philippe were presented to the press the “organizational chart of the primary,” the representative of Mr. Juppé insisting on “peaceful debate” of the meeting.
The president candidate will “resign”
Regarding the UMP candidates, it was decided that referrals thresholds would be set at 20 Parliamentarians (against 25 in the draft document), at least 250 elected spread over a minimum of 30 departments, at least 2,500 members spread over a minimum of 15 departments.
Regarding “any opposition party that would like to join this primary, “the UMP plans to” talk to her “to set the rules that are specific to it
were also written down the following:. it will be a vote with ballot paper (to avoid risks fraud), there will be no proxies, each voter will perform two euros per turn and must sign the following statement. “I agree with the values of the right and center, I am committed to the alternately and for the recovery of France. “
10,000 polling stations
The charter states that each candidate for the primary must commit” to publicly support the candidate for the Presidency of the Republic appointed after the primary and to take part in the campaign. “
There will be about 10,000 polling stations, 2 000 more than what had been previously proposed, at the request of juppéistes, who want the largest possible number of electors can vote. The clan Juppé table effect on a threshold of three million voters, hoping to “both” the PS and its 2.9 million voters in 2011. Above all, such a base would go well beyond the UMP – according to which Sarkozy is more likely to win in 2017 (Ifop poll published Tuesday) – and is well beyond the centrist electorate, a priori more favorable to the mayor of Bordeaux
The question of funding of candidates does. has not been addressed. Remains that of the date of withdrawal of the president of the UMP once declared candidate. This will be the commission of the statutes, those responsible for developing the new party (which will be renamed The Republicans in Congress 30 May) to decide. This committee meets next Tuesday.
Mr. Sarkozy proposed that “any member of management who will be candidate for the primary will have to resign,” and that the successful candidate will also be the one who “will lead the party in the 2017 presidential election.”
