Organizers of the first round of voting Hamon said, leads with 35.2 percent followed by Valls, with 31.6 percent.
Voting ended at 19:00 and shortly afterwards began counting to determine the two names that will go to a runoff in a time when the race was full of seven candidates. 1.7 to 1.9 million people have participated in the vote across the country.
The Socialist Party and its allies had hoped a high turnout to create a dynamic that could vault the winner according to public opinion polls has not many chances to win the presidential elections this spring.
