| Description | Martine Aubry, the architect of France's 35-hour working week, beat Segolene Royal to become the new leader of the Socialist opposition party by a margin so narrow that Royal has called for a new vote.
Aubry got 67,413 votes, or 50.02 percent of last night's ballot, according to a Socialist Party statement sent by e-mail today. Royal, who lost to Nicolas Sarkozy in the French presidential election last year, received 42 fewer votes, or 49.98 percent. The party said its national council will meet in the coming days to make a final decision on the result. |
