While a little challenging to understand, essentially the french conservatives (Republican party) are holding their first round primary today.  However, everyone in France gets to vote in the primary, and the two with the highest vote percentage then go head-to-head in a run off in round two (next week).

The winner of next week’s head-to-head will then enter the general election race and face Marine Le Pen of the French National party, along with other left-wing party candidates next April. Assuming no-one gets over 50% in the April 2017 general election, the top two then going head to head in the General election run-off in May.
The three leading conservative republican candidates going into today were former French President Nicolas Sarkozy,  and former french prime ministers Francois Fillon and Alain Juppe’.  Most non-Republican (liberal) voters hoping Mr Alain Juppe’ would win because he has the best chance of beating Marine Le Pen.
With 72% of the vote counted Francois Fillon appears to be winning.

  • Fillon 44%
  • Juppé 28%
  • Sarkozy 22%

Looks like Fillon and Juppe’ will go head-to-head next week.
Embarrassingly, Nicolas Sarkozy appears knocked out.
