Sarkozy to run for President
Sarkozy to run for President
Quote:
The French centre-right has elected UMP party leader and Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy as their candidate for the presidential polls.
The 51-year-old was chosen by party members via an internet vote, but received just 69% of the vote, despite being the only candidate.
Some 327,000 UMP members could vote. Many attended a lavish rally in Paris.
But President Jacques Chirac was not present, while several senior party figures had said they would abstain.
The BBC's Caroline Wyatt, in Paris, says Mr Sarkozy was aiming for a show of unity, despite bitter divisions at the top of the UMP.
