- Presidential elections took place in France on 23 April and 7 May 1995, to elect the fifth president of the Fifth Republic. The incumbent Socialist president, François Mitterrand, did not stand for a third term. He was 78, had cancer, and his party had lost the previous legislative election in a landslide defeat. Since 1993, he had been "cohabiting" with a conservative cabinet led by Edouard Balladur, a member of the Neo-Gaullist RPR. Balladur had promised the leader of the RPR, Jacques Chirac, that he would not run for the presidency, but as polls showed him doing well and he had the support of many conservative politicians, he decided to run. The competition within the right between Balladur and Chirac was a major component of the campaign. Meanwhile, the left was weakened by scandals and disappointments regarding Mitterrand's presidency. In June 1994, former Prime Minister Michel Rocard was dismissed as head of Socialist Party (PS) after the party's poor showing in the European Parliament election. Then, Jacques Delors decided not to stand as a candidate because he disagreed with the re-alignment on the left orchestrated by new party leader Henri Emmanuelli. This left the field wide open for numerous potential candidacies: among those who are known to have considered a run, or were strongly urged by others, are Jack Lang, Pierre Joxe, Laurent Fabius, Ségolène Royal and Robert Badinter. Former education minister Lionel Jospin was chosen by PS members as the party's candidate in a primary election pitting him against Henri Emmanuelli. He promised to restore the credibility and moral reputation of his party, but his chances of winning were seen as being thin. The French Communist Party (PCF) tried to stop its electoral decline. Its new leader Robert Hue campaigned against "king money" and wanted to represent a renewed communism. He was faced with competition for the far left vote by the Trotskyist candidacy of Arlette Laguiller, who ran for the fourth time. Both of these candidates had a better result than their parties had in 1988, but came nowhere near being able to participate in the next round. In choosing Dominique Voynet, the Greens opted for their integration with the left. On the far-right, Jean-Marie Le Pen tried to repeat his surprising result that he obtained in the previous presidential election. His main rival for the far-right vote was Philippe de Villiers, candidate of the euro-sceptic parliamentary right. In January 1995, when he announced his candidacy, Balladur was the favorite of the political right. According to the SOFRES polls institute, he held an advantage of 14 points over Chirac (32% against 18% for the first round). He took advantage of his "positive assessment" as Prime Minister and advocated a moderately liberal economic policy. Chirac denounced the "social fracture" and criticized the "dominant thought", targeting Balladur. Chirac argued, "the pay slip is not the enemy of employment". Indeed, unemployment was the main theme of the campaign. From the start of March, Chirac gained ground on Balladur in the polls. Chirac's campaign slogan was "France for everyone"; Balladur's: "Believe in France"; and Jospin's: "A clear vote for a more just France".

Succédant aux deux mandats du socialiste François Mitterrand, Jacques Chirac a été investi dans ses fonctions de président de la République le 17 mai 1995. Cette élection a notamment été marquée par un fort taux d'abstention (21,6 % au premier tour et 20,3 % au second tour) et par l'élimination du Premier ministre sortant, Édouard Balladur, longtemps favori des sondages mais arrivé en troisième position au premier tour avec seulement 18,58 % des voix. Au lendemain du second tour, la France célébrait le cinquantième anniversaire du 8 mai 1945 et fut représentée par deux présidents puisque Jacques Chirac était élu mais pas encore investi et François Mitterrand n'avait pas encore quitté le pouvoir.
