President Mitterrand and Premier Chirac vie for presidency
The Associated Press
PARIS — Socialist President François Mitterrand won the first round of the French presidential election yesterday setting up a May 8 runoff with conservative Premier Jacques Chirac who finished a distant second.
With 98 percent of the ballots counted, and with tabulating suspended for the day, Mitterrand had 34 percent of the vote in his quest for a second seven-year term. Chirac, 55, had 19.9 percent.
Former center-right Premier Raymond Barre, 64, finished third with 16.5 percent. He conceded defeat and called on his supporters to back fellow conservative Chirc and oust Mitterrand.
Making a strong showing in the field of nine candidates was Jean-Marie Le Pen, 59, leader of the extreme right National Front, with 14.5 percent. Le Pen campaigned on a tough anti-immigration platform
The big loser was Communist Party candidate Andre Lajonie, whose 6.8 percent showing was the lowest in the history of the party that has been on a steady decline since 1981.
Turnout in the election was estimated at 82 percent, compared to 81 percent in the first round of the 1981 elections.
The 71-year-old Mittertier, whose popularity sank to unprecedented lows at mid-term only to soar in the
last two years, will face the hard-driving premier who has run the government since conservatives won the 1986 legislative elections.
"Now, the choice is simple," Mitterrand said in a brief statement. "To all of you who serve France, we have before us great tasks. Frenchmen and Frenchmen, let us work hard, neglecting no effort to win May 8."
Chirac, in a joint appearance with Barre at the Senate building, called on unity among conservatives to unseat Mitterrand.
"Now, against the Socialist candidate, we must rally together," he said.
Mitterrand organizers were jubilant as the returns rolled in.
"By placing Francois Mitterrand well in front in the first round, the voters have shown the direction for rallying the country on May 8," said Pierre Beregovoy, Mitterrand's campaign manager.
"Mr. Jacques Chirc is far behind," said Beregoyo. "His policy has left many people unhappy and disappointed."
The final poll a week ago had showed Mitterrand defeating Chirac by a comfortable margin in the second round.
The president is the chief of state. The premier, elected by the legislature, is the head of government.
