French President Emmanuel Macron won what appears to be a landslide victory against far right leader Marine Le Pen, with 58 percent of the vote. But abstention numbers reveal a less united vote - as Macron’s opponents are quick to point out - which will likely impact how he governs in the next five years, and how the far right fares in future elections.
Macron won in the second-round run off on Sunday with 58.54, against Le Pen’s 41.46 percent.
