French election: Macron 'defeats Le Pen to become president'
Centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron has decisively won the French presidential election, projected results say.
Mr Macron defeated far-right candidate Marine Le Pen by about 65% to 35% to become, at 39, the country's youngest president, the results show.
If confirmed, he will also become the first president from outside the two traditional main parties since the modern republic's foundation in 1958.
A bitterly fought election concluded on Sunday amid massive security.
Mr Macron's supporters have gathered to celebrate in central Paris.
