New Delhi. One name that has been in the headlines so far in the French elections is Jordan Bardella. He is only 28 years old and it is believed that he can become the youngest Prime Minister of France. Jordan Bardella has also been the President of the far-right National Assembly (RN). Jordan Bardella is the candidate of the National Rally in France and is leading in the surveys and the youth are very inclined towards him.

Jordan Bardella has also served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in 2019 and as a regional councillor for Ile-de-France since 2015.
