Le Pen seeks recount after loss of seat
The leader of France’s main far-right party said today that she is demanding a recount after her razor-thin loss to a Socialist in northern France as part of nationwide legislative elections.
Marine Le Pen told France-Info radio that her anti-immigration National Front party will appeal to France’s Constitutional Council after results showed she lost to Socialist Philippe Kemel by 118 votes out of more than 55,000 cast.
