Anxiety and disappointment among firebrand Sarah Knafo’s supporters

 

There is growing angst among supporters of far-right anti-immigration MEP Sarah Knafo in Paris, as estimates roll in for the mayoral race. The 32-year-old Knafo was set to upset predictions, with polls suggesting she might advance to the second round in what would be a historic first for a far-right candidate in the French capital.

 

According to Harris Interactive, Knafo now looks to receive 11 percent of the vote, just crossing the 10 percent threshold to qualify for the runoff, placing her behind four other candidates, including the center-left Emmanuel Grégoire and conservative Rachida Dati.

 

“We might not make it,” said one supporter as the estimates appeared on a giant screen in the room.
