Latest counting (first round):

Interior Ministry just prior to 10pm Paris time ... Half votes counted now: Le Pen 24.13%, Macron 22.42%

Key points:

  • Le Pen ahead
  • Counting so far does not yet include biggest cities
  • Macron expected to narrow le Pen's lead once city counting in (that's what the pundits expect, lets see how that pans out)
  • LP and Big MAc are through to the 2nd round
