Regional election result

By Duncan Mil

December 7, 2015 - Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Front has made record gains, leading in six of France’s 13 regions. Former president Nicolas Sarkozy’s centre-right Republicans are ahead in four regions while President François Hollande’s Socialists are ahead in three.

Polls from Agence France-Presse predict that Le Pen won a symbolic 40% of the votes in Picardie. Her niece, Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, won 42% of the votes in the Mediterranean coastal region of Provence Cote d'Azur.
