 Tonight, the politics that I've represented throughout this campaign has achieved a score that was three times greater than what was predicted over the last three weeks, but we have not achieved a majority. And so, loyal to the Republican tradition and in accordance with my principles, tomorrow morning, I shall be issuing my resignation to the President of the Republic. Left-wing leaders in France have hailed the results. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the founder of the hard-left party France Unbowed, thanked his supporters.
