French President Emmanuel Macron has made it clear that he intends to retain influence over the country's politics beyond his second term, not ruling out the possibility of running for president again when the constitution allows it, Politico reports.

"I still need your support, and I'm counting on you - in the next two years ... in five years, in ten years. You will be here, and you can be sure - I will be with you too," Macron said Sunday at an event marking the 10th anniversary of the youth movement that helped him win his first presidential election.

Under France's constitution, Macron cannot run for a third consecutive term in 2027. However, the restriction only applies to consecutive mandates, paving the way for him to run for president in 2032 when he turns 54.

Macron's credibility in the country is now near a historic low, with only 22% of French people trusting him to run the state, according to the latest figures from pollsters Elabe. 

The president's domestic political influence also weakened after his decision to hold early parliamentary elections last summer. His coalition then lost control of parliament, leading to a protracted political stalemate.
