Several other candidates in the area withdrew ahead of the second round of voting on Sunday – the so-called Front républicain – leaving a two-horse race between the far-right candidate and a candidate of the centre right. The regional voting had been closely watched as it is the last time the French go to the polls before choosing a new president in 2022. The below map from Le Parisien shows the results detailed from the exit polls, with pink representing centre-left candidates or alliances and blue showing centre-right successes. The second round was set to mark barely any improvement, with over 66 percent of the electorate not casting their votes, according to the estimate by Ifop Fiducial. But the estimates showed that Muselier was on course to defeat Mariani by a margin of some 10 percent.
