Paris, Jun 20 (EFE/EPA).- France's main center-right party garnered the largest number of votes nationwide in Sunday's first round of regional elections, while the far-right National Rally of Marine Le Pen failed to meet expectations.With official results not expected until Tuesday, media outlets using a combination of partial tabulations and responses to exit polls estimated that Les Republicains (LR) took roughly 29 percent of the vote amid record-low turnout of less than 33 percent of the roughly 48 million eligible voters.
