Emmanuel Macron, outgoing president can claim a clear victory (from 57.6% to 58.5% according to estimates) and a historic first under the Fifth Republic outside the period of cohabitation.
However, the president elected for a new 5-year term will have to know how to compose if he wants to preserve the unity of a country cut in two and where extremes have gained ground.
The legislative elections in June could further accentuate this divide due to the majority voting system with under-represented extremes and the LR and PS parties, still well established locally, over-represented.
The choice of his future Prime Minister will also be very important to carry out the reforms that the President intends to carry out.
