PARIS Carlos Correa Jersey , April 19 (Xinhua) -- An estimated high abstention rate in Sunday's French presidential election is likely to bring new uncertainties, Guillaume Indigo, an analyst at BVA pollster, told Xinhua on Tuesday.

This year's presidential contest "will be certainly marked by a quite low turnout after a quite strange campaign," said Indigo.

A string of surprises overshadowed the campaign. The twists started with outgoing President Francois Hollande's decision not to seek a second term, followed by unexpected victory of outsiders in both right and left primaries and fraud scandals that have tainted the bid of far-right leader Marine Le Pen and of conservative contender Francois Fillon.

"Normally Nolan Ryan Jersey , when election comes near, voters are more interested. But this year, it is not the case. Fewer people are expected to vote on Sunday compared to the first round in 2007 or 2012 elections," said Indigo.

Five years ago, the turnout was 79.5 percent in the first round. For 2017, the rate is expected to be between 72 percent and 77 percent Craig Biggio Jersey , the analyst estimated.

"That is an important fact which may determine the election's result," Indigo said.

In 2002, a record abstention rate of 28.4 percent in the first round propelled the far-right candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen, Marine Le Pen's father, to the second round.

The result of this year's presidential contest is even harder to predict, said Indigo. "No one is able to say who will be the winner as many things could happen at last minutes."
