(MENAFN) French centre-right candidate Francois Fillon has dramatically withdrawn from a visit to a major farm fair at the last minute, raising further doubts about his campaign.
One unconfirmed report said he had been summoned by magistrates investigating allegations that his wife was paid for years for work she did not do.
The "fake jobs" claims have damaged his campaign and he is currently third in opinion polls.
He is due to give a statement shortly.
