The leader of France's far-right National Front party, Marine Le Pen, said she will "oppose" her father standing in upcoming elections, in a major party and family rift.
The row emerged after a series of controversial comments by Jean-Marie Le Pen, including over Nazi gas chambers.
Marine Le Pen said her father's position appeared to sit somewhere "between a scorched earth strategy and political suicide".
She added she would oppose him standing in December's regional polls at a party meeting taking place on 17 April.
Mr Le Pen, the founder of the FN, last week reiterated his belief that gas chambers were a mere "detail" of the Second World War.
This is an assertion he has made repeatedly over nearly three decades, earning convictions for hate speech along the way.
Speaking of her "deep sadness," his daughter said she would call a top brass meeting at the party "to discuss with him how to best protect the political interests of the National Front."
"His status of honorary president does not allow him to take the National Front hostage, to make such crass provocations that appear aimed at harming me but which unfortunately hit the entire movement, its officials, candidates, members and voters very hard," she said.
Since taking over the FN in 2011, Marine Le Pen has sought to make the party a more palatable alternative for mainstream voters.
The strategy helped lead the FN to first place in last year's European elections in France and a quarter of the votes in the first round of local polls last month.
