{UAH} French presidential election : Emmanuel Macron's lead in opinion polls

Eleven candidates have been formally and officially approved and declared legible to stand for the French presidential election due in about five weeks from now. The eleven have all succeeded to gather the necessary 500 signatures of proposers who legally declare themapt tostand for this high office. The proposers must come from the category of elected MPs, senators, mayors, district officers, local council members who are elected individuals and not nominees! This rulewas established 

some decades back in order to avoid any irrelevant candidates for the high office!

According to the latest opinion polls it's still candidate Emmanuel Macron who is in the lead with 26.5 %, followed by extreme rightist, Ms Marine le Pen with 25%, former rightist premier Fillon is credited with 17%, Socialist Hamon 11%, and radicalist Malenchon  14%.The other six candidates are sharing the rest.......

The second round, which must record the required victory of 50% plus one vote, will normally  take place two weeks   later.will decide the winner!  According to the latest opinion poll it's Macron who will win and will defeat extreme rightist Marine le Pen by a very comfortable 64% to Le Pen's humble 36%. Macron  is shooting to the presidency at a very young age of 39. He's a man of great ideas and he is resolved to change society. He has wonderful projects for Africa.Macron has been enlisting support from both the left and the right. Latest to join him have been the following great figures : Mr Perben, once France's Attorney General, the influential French Minister of Defence, Mr Le Drian, French revolutionary intellectual and leading world advocate for federal rule in all countries, Mr Cohen Bendit a  European Member of Parliament, 

and several others including tacit sympathies from President Hollande and former Premier Valls. Macron was also the best performer in the first round of debates which assembled the five leading candidates. The debate was followed by millions of viewers and listeners. On immigration the candidates agreed on the necessity to reduce the flow by attacking without fear and giving a solution to those conditions which force people to leave their countries. It looks the forthcoming French administration wil be very tough on misrule in Africa and on the need for democratic reforms on the continent!
