Far right ahead in the French Riviera’s capital

 

Eric Ciotti, an ally of Marine Le Pen, is on track to finish first in Nice, according to pollster Ifop, with 42.5 percent of the vote.

 

He’s leading the incumbent center-right mayor, Christian Estrosi, who is projected to net 31.6 percent of the vote.

 

Nice, France’s fifth-most populous city, would be the biggest ever win for the far-right.

 

A left-wing candidate, Juliette Chesnel-Le Roux has also made the runoff, per the estimate.

 

She could drop out to keep the far right away from power in what promises to be one of the most-watched runoff contests next Sunday.
