Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right French political party National Rally, is seeking to secure a major upset on Sunday when she goes up against president Emmanuel Macron in a runoff vote in the hope of denying him a second term in the Elysee Palace.
Ms Le Pen secured 23.1 per cent of the vote in the first round of the French elections on 10 April, coming second behind Mr Macron who gained 27.8 per cent as ten other candidates were eliminated.
