The centrist Emmanuel Macron will be the new President of France. In the presidential election held in France on Sunday (May 7), Emmanuel Macron defeats the right-wing Marine Le Pen.

The newly elected president, 39-year-old former investment banker Emmanuel Macron, has never been in an elected post till date. By winning this election, in the history of France, at the youngest, the president has won the election.

After winning the Presidential election, Emmanuel Macron said that he would fight the war against the 'internal partition of the country'.

Emmanuel Macron said, "I have heard people's anger, tension and suspicions."

From his party headquarters in Paris, Emmanuel Macron said that he would 're-link the link with Europe and its citizens'.

Macron said that France will be in the next line in the fight against terrorism.

After winning the election, Emmanuel Macron said at another rally that he will do all this in the next five years, so that people do not have to vote for extremists.

Macron also indicated that he would start efforts to get a majority in France for the lower house of France in June.

The most interesting thing in the elections of France is that Presidential candidates of the two largest parties of the country had already left the race. The popularity of Marine Le Pen has risen rapidly in the last few years, and there was a possibility that many other countries, like the other, could be in power in France even with the right-wing party.

According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, so far 65.30 percent of the voting has been done, which is 6 percent less than the presidential election of 2012, and four percent less than the first phase elections on April 23. In this election, there was a fight between the European pro and business support Emmanuel Macron and the anti-immigration and anti-European Marine Le Pen.

Both are completely different, and underlines the split between the Western democratic countries. Macron was on top of the first round of the election on 23 April. Marin Le Pen described the election as a fight between 'globalization supporters' for free trade, immigration and shared sovereignty and nationalists who advocated the strong borders and national identity.

Both candidates reached Paris to see the results. The process of voting started at 66,546 polling stations in the morning hours at 11:30 AM. Most of these polling stations were closed at 10:30 p.m., whereas the centers of big cities were open for one hour more.

It is worth mentioning that in the first round of elections on 23 April, Emmanuel Macron got 24.01 percent of the votes, while Marine Le Pen got 21. 30 percent of the votes.
