Final official results gave the opposition Socialists 29.48 percent of votes, with the UMP candidates tallying 26.18 percent. European Greens gathered 12.47 percent, ahead of the right-wing National Front's 11.74 percent. France's Ministry of the Interior put the abstention rate at 53.65 percent, a record low for a regional election. A coalition of the far left, the Left Front, won up to 5.7 percent of votes, bettering the centrist MoDem party, historically France's third best vote-getter, which struggled to reach 4.24 percent on Sunday.

That probably pulled some votes from Europe Ecologie, which narrowly missed at 9.75%.
