French
voters will go to the polls in April and May 2017, but Hollande, who
has low popularity ratings, says he will not stand for re-election.
It
is the first time since 1958, when France's fifth republic was created,
that an incumbent president has not sought re-election.
"I
am speaking to you this evening to inform you of the decision I have
taken in view of the forthcoming presidential election," he said. "I
have decided not to be a candidate in the presidential election."
