France's conservative Les Republicains party has chosen Valerie Pecresse to challenge President Emmanuel Macron in next year's election race
France's conservative party has chosen the moderate chief of the Paris region Valerie Pecresse to challenge President Emmanuel Macron next year, a pick that will likely have a major influence on the shape of the campaign.
Both Pecresse and Ciotti had made the run-off after the first round of voting earlier this week upended expectations. While all opinion polls have predicted centrist Macron should win the election, the emergence of a strong candidate on the traditional right who gains momentum during the campaign would be a major factor.
