French President Emmanuel Macron has won 18,779,809 or 58.6% of votes in the 2022 elections for the head of state, the country's Interior Ministry said after processing 100% of the ballot cast.
Macron's opponent Marine Le Pen won 41.4%, meaning that 13,297,728 people gave their vote to her. These percentages refer only to the voting papers on which one of the two proposed names was encircled and not to abstentions, blanks, etc.
In his address right after the initial results were published, Macron acknowledged Le Pen's supporters and promised that "no one in France will be left by the wayside."
