Live - Primary of the social democratic left: the results expected at the end of the day, the suspense is complete

Five candidates for a chair. Raphaël Glucksmann hopes to win in the first round this evening. The MEP is counting on his numerous supporters within the PS (notably the heads of the two parliamentary groups in the Assembly and the Senate), in addition to his supporters in Place publique. A second round is planned if necessary on October 16 and 17.

Facing him, the boss of the Socialist Party Olivier Faure appears as a challenger. He is counting on party patriotism to win, but is only credited in the polls with 3 to 5% of the votes, far from the voting intentions of Mr. Glucksmann, who is between 10 and 12%. The former 2007 presidential candidate, Ségolène Royal, also hopes to do well, 20 years after being present in the second round of a presidential election. The deputies Jérôme Guedj (PS) and Emmanuel Maurel (Republican and Socialist Left) are outsiders in this primary.
