PARIS ? France's Socialist Party has formally anointed Francois Hollande as its candidate for presidential elections in six months, culminating a weeks-long process of primaries.
The 57-year-old Hollande is expected to be the top rival to conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy ? who has not yet declared his candidacy but is expected to do so.
Socialist Party leader Martine Aubry told a party convention Saturday that "the change we want now has a name, Francois Hollande."
Hollande defeated Aubry by a large margin in an Oct. 16 vote for a Socialist candidate after three rounds of debate.
Among the five others defeated by Hollande was his former companion, Segolene Royal, mother of his four children ? who challenged Sarkozy in 2005 elections.
