Francois Fillon: Cent and Campaign Headquarters

francois fillon: The race was seen as an early measure of how the terror attacks in France over the past two years and the nationalist wave sweeping Europe and the U.S. have shaped the country political landscape, according to The Chronicle Herald. With more than 3.8 million votes counted from about 92 per cent of polling stations, Francois Fillon had 44.2 per cent, Alain Juppe 28.4 per cent and Sarkozy 20.7 per cent. Two ex-prime ministers will instead meet in a runoff next week for the nomination. The final results are not expected until Monday. In a speech from his campaign headquarters in Paris, Sarkozy called on his supporters to vote for Fillon his prime minister from 2007 to 2012 in the second round. The top two vote-getters will compete in the Nov. 27 runoff. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
