Which candidate was sponsored by an elected official from Lyon and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes on February 1?
At 69 days from the first round of the presidential election, the Constitutional Council validated the sponsorships of last weekend.
During the official sponsorship collection period, the Constitutional Council makes public twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday) its decisions validating new sponsorships for the next presidential election.
The sponsorships received on the weekend of January 29 and 31 and validated on February 1 by the Constitutional Council are 313 in number. There are 20 of them in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, including 3 in Lyon.
Note: elected officials authorized to support a candidate and grant their sponsorship can support anyone and even those who have not (or not yet) have their wish to run. This is the case of the outgoing President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron.
