French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has said she will make a defeated rival her prime minister, if elected.<\/p>\n

Ms Le Pen, of the far-right National Front (FN), chose Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, of the mainstream nationalist “Stand Up France” in an apparent bid to attract his voters.<\/p>\n

Mr Dupont-Aignan had already backed Ms Le Pen for the second round.<\/p>\n

Ms Le Pen faces centrist Emmanuel Macron in the second, decisive round of voting, which takes place on 7 May.<\/p>\n

Outgoing President Fran\u00e7ois Hollande, speaking in Brussels at his last EU summit, said the election on 7 May “is a European choice”.<\/p>\n

“The French have everything to gain by staying in the European Union,” he told reporters gathered at the summit to discuss the UK leaving the bloc.<\/p>\n
