Le Pen won double the votes her father won in 2002
French presidential election's far-right National Front candidate Marine Le Pen, who lost the bid to Emmanuel Macron, won almost double the votes her more extremist father Jean-Marie won in 2002. Jean-Marie had won just 17.8% of the final vote when he challenged Jacques Chirac in 2002, while Marine attracted an estimated 33.9% votes in the final round.
