The French President Nicolas Sarkozy has held his final rally on the last day of campaigning for Sunday's first round of voting in the presidential elections. He urged his supporters to choose what he called a "strong France". Opinion polls suggest a close race between Mr Sarkozy and his Socialist rival Francois Hollande, who is expected to win a second round run-off vote. Economic issues have dominated the campaign with Mr Hollande emphasising the need for growth rather than austerity to solve France's financial woes.
