Exit polls predict French Socialists' victory

  • 12 years ago
An initial vote count by French polling institutes show an outright majority for President Francois Hollande's Socialist Party in parliamentary elections.

The CSA polling institute said the Socialist-led bloc won 320 seats, well above the 289 required for a majority in the 577-seat lower house, in Sunday's second-round vote.
