In a surprise move Francois Hollande has announced he will not seek a second term as president of France.
"I've decided not to be a candidate to renew my mandate," the Socialist leader said in a live televised address.
Mr Hollande, faced with very low popularity ratings, has become the first sitting president in modern French history not to seek re-election.
He said he was aware of the risks of not running and warned of the threat from the far-right National Front.
