Jordan Bardella was re-elected president of the National Rally at the party's congress in Orléans, winning close to 99% of the vote with turnout of around 68%. He was the only candidate in the running. The overwhelming margin is drawing commentary, with critics comparing the result to the staged unanimity of North Korean elections and pointing to the lack of internal competition as a sign of how tightly the party is controlled.

Why now: The near-unanimous result for a sole candidate at a major French party's congress is striking and invites criticism of internal democracy.
