Le Pen’s far-right fails to win any areas in French regional elections


In a second round of voting in the regional elections that was again marked by record voter abstention, Le Pen failed to win a single region while the centrist ruling party of President Emmanuel Macron suffered another poll drubbing. 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, with pink representing centre-left candidates or alliances and blue showing centre-right successes. The second round showed a similarly low turnout.
