If you have just joined us, Francois Hollande has won the election with about 52% of the vote to 48% for Mr Sarkozy, according to early results. Mr Hollande said in his first victory speech, in Tulle, that he wanted his presidency to be judged on what he did to deliver justice and to help the youth of France. The defeated candidate wished him luck in a concession speech that even opponents found dignified. "He was an impulsive, energetic leader who became the latest of a long line of politicians to be destroyed by the eurozone crisis and by his own flaws."

Remember, you can follow our election news story and check out our special report on this night of victory for the French left. As France's next leader, Mr Hollande must contend with the fact that the FN, which campaigns against immigration, "Islamisation" and the euro, won 17.9% of the vote on 22 April. This image shows Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Front (FN), voting in Henin-Beaumont, northern France.
