Glucksmann wins French social-democratic left primary with 66%

• 

  Raphaël Glucksmann won the first round of the French social-democratic left primary with 66% of the vote.

• 

  The result avoided a second round and gave Glucksmann a strong base of legitimacy, according to Ipsos-BVA analyst Diane Lamotte.

• 

  The primary also backed Glucksmann’s opposition to future alliances with La France insoumise.

• 

  Lamotte said the limited number of voters and a €15 participation fee make comparisons with an earlier primary difficult.

• 

  She said Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s high poll numbers would pose an additional challenge for Glucksmann.
