Format

References

The 2002 French presidential election consisted of two rounds. The second round attracted a greater than usual amount of international attention because of far-right candidate Le Pen's unexpected victory over Socialist candidate Lionel Jospin. The event is known because, on the one hand, the number of candidates was unusually high (16) and, on the other hand, because the polls had failed to predict that Jean-Marie would be on the second round.
