Hamon wins French Socialists' presidential primary

None

A partial vote count shows hard-left candidate Benoit Hamon winning the presidential nomination for France's ruling Socialist Party, comfortably beating ex-Prime Minister Manuel Valls in a primary runoff vote.

 

The count from 60 percent of the voting stations showed Hamon winning with 58 percent of Sunday's vote, with around 41 percent for Valls.
