When is France holding its presidential election?
The first round vote takes place on April 23rd next. If no candidate wins an outright majority, as will almost certainly be the case, a second round run-off between the two leading candidates will be held on May 7th.
How is the election likely to play out?
Until very recently it was widely assumed that Fillon and Le Pen would make it through to the final vote in May, and that Fillon would win. Macron, however, is running a stronger-than-expected campaign and could force his way into the run-off. Fillon remains slight favourite to win a still-open race.
