Emmanuel Macron And Marine Le Pen Set To Win First Round Of France’s
Presidential Election
The preliminary results of France’s first round of presidential
elections are in, and independent candidate Emmanuel Macron is predicted
to win with 23.7 percent of the vote. Far-right National Front leader
Marine Le Pen appears to be the runner-up with 21.7 percent and would
face off against Macron in the second round if these figures hold.
Far-left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon and conservative Republican party
leader Francois Fillon were narrowly edged out of the final round, both
with an estimated 19.5 percent of the vote.
These numbers are early estimates released after polls closed at 8 p.m.
local time, and official tallies will come later in the evening. People
around the world are watching the election as a litmus test of just how
influential the strains of populism and nationalism in Europe have become.
