For a second time, France president Emmanuel Macron will be formally inaugurated into the office tomorrow, May 7, after defeating his far-right challenger Marine Le Pen, on Wednesday, April 27, 2022. Le Pen took over the party founded by her father Jean-Marie Le Pen in 2011 in a bid to make it electable. These underpinnings, Ugwu said, support strong anti-immigration and nationalist policies, which they believe would prioritise and protect the French identity. “Finding a compromise in leading an inclusive government may see the French President take more stringent positions on sensitive items like immigration,” he said. On the implication of a second term for Africa, Akinterinwa explained that before the election, France had not been doing very well in Africa.
