President for all of France: Macron's vow as t's revealed 92% of UK expats backed him

Mr Macron secured more than 58 per cent of the vote in yesterday’s run off, helping him become the first sitting president to be re-elected in 20 years.

But with more than 40 per cent backing Ms Le Pen, he conceded in his victory speech that France was “full of anger and division”.

Speaking at a rally on the Champ de Mars underneath the Eiffel Tower last night, he pledged: “Nobody will be left by the wayside.”

This morning Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky became the latest world leader to send his congratulations to Mr Macron, saying: “I wish Emmanuel Macron new successes for the benefit of the French people. I appreciate the support of France and I am convinced: we are stepping together to new common victories! To a strong and united Europe!”
