Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy Elected Opposition Party Leader<\/b><\/p>\n

\n

Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy, who has made headlines<\/a> recently for his call<\/a> to repeal the country’s same-sex<\/a> marriage law that was passed last year, has been elected as leader of the UMP opposition party.<\/p>\n

BBC reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Sarkozy\"<\/a>More than 150,000 party members – over 50% – voted in the election, despite the process being slowed down by a cyber attack.<\/p>\n

Mr Le Maire, a former agriculture minister, received just less than 29.2% and a third candidate, MP Herve Mariton 6.3%.<\/p>\n

Mr Sarkozy posted a message to supporters on his Facebook page<\/a> (in French).<\/p>\n

“I would like to thank all the UMP members who did me the honour of electing me leader of our political family,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Their mobilisation, at a level unequalled in the history of our movement, is the best response to two years of internal quarrels and divisions.”<\/p>\n

Back in September, in his first interview since announcing his intention to return to politics, the thrice-married Sarkozy blasted <\/a>President François Hollande’s socialist government for “humiliating families” by legalizing gay<\/a> marriage. <\/p>\n

Sarkozy is widely expected to mount a campaign in the 2017 presidential election.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
