Emmanuel McKeown has been re-elected President of France.
The French news agency AFP quoted the Ipsos polling institute as saying that McKeown won 58.2% of the vote in Sunday's election.
At 5:00 pm on Sunday, their turnout was 63.2 percent, down from 2 percent in the 2017 election, according to the Interior Ministry.

Similarly, the turnout in the election was 2% lower than in the first round on April 10, when McKeown was ahead of his nearest rival Marie LaPaine.
Polling analysts based on official data estimate that the turnout was 28 percent this time around, which, if confirmed, would be the highest since 1969 in the presidential election.
Analysts had previously warned that a low turnout could turn the final results in any direction, with various polls suggesting that McKeown had a clear lead over rival Le Pen over the past two weeks. ۔
Emmanuel McKeown had asked his constituents to show confidence in him for the presidency despite various traumatic issues, the Corona epidemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
After being re-elected, McKeown became the first French president to win for the second time in 20 years.
The outcome of the French election, one of the world's strongest economies and a nuclear power, could also have an impact on the Russia-Ukraine war, as France has played a key role against Russia and openly supported sanctions over its attack on its neighbor. Of
"The next five years will be different and I promise no one will be left alone," Emmanuel McKeown said in a speech on Sunday after the victory.
"For me, everyone is more than myself," he continued. I love the people of France very much and I am proud to have the opportunity to serve them again.
Countries around the world are congratulating McKeown on his re-election as President of France.
"We can count on France for another five years," European Council President Charles Mitchell tweeted.
European Commission President Arsula von der Leyen also tweeted, "I am pleased to continue the excellent cooperation."
US President Joe Biden tweeted at McKeown's victory: "France is our oldest ally and a key partner in tackling global challenges. I look forward to continuing to work closely with Ukraine on other areas, including support for the war, defense of democracy and the fight against climate change. "
