Conservative candidate François Fillon won 19.91% of the vote and the far left’s Jean-Luc Mélenchon 19.64%. Socialist Benoît Hamon received 6.35%. 77% of registered voters too part in the election. The existing Prime Minister of France Bernard Cazeneuve, and President François Hollande, and defeated candidates from the mainstream parties Benoît Hamon and François Fillon, all told their supporters to vote for Emmanuel Macron in the second round. The European Commission President and leading mainstream German politicans were also said to have congratulated Mr Macron. Commentators also noted that whoever won the Presidential Election on the 7 May 2017, there was also a French legislative election soon after in June 2017. The working relationship between the new President and the political make-up of the National Assembly would be crucial. |
