Emmanuel Macron leads the first round of the French presidential election

Notably, the leader of the far-left party came in third, well ahead of the candidates of the traditional centre-right and centre-left parties.

Mr. Emmanuel Macron came first in the first round of the French presidential election. The outgoing president’s 28% result is not much different from the 23% obtained by former right-wing candidate Marine Le Pen. The results of the 1st round of voting foreshadow many dramas for the 2nd round.

Vote counting begins at 8 p.m., publicly, right at the polling place.

Mr. Macron and Ms. Le Pen have 2 weeks to campaign for the second round. If in the first round, the candidates introduced their own action plan as the main, then in the next round, they will have to confront directly, criticize the opponent’s point of view, and at the same time defend their point of view. .
