The Socialist Party (French: Parti Socialiste, PS) is the largest centre-left political party in France. It replaced the earlier French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO) in 1969. A social-democratic and democratic-socialist party,the PS first won power in 1981, when its candidate François Mitterrand was elected president of the Fifth Republic. Under Mitterrand, the party achieved a governing majority in the National Assembly from 1981 to 1986 and again from 1988 to 1993. PS leader Lionel Jospin lost his bid to succeed Mitterrand as president in the 1995 presidential election against Gaullist leader Jacques Chirac but became prime minister in a cohabitation government after the 1997 parliamentary elections, a position he held until 2002, when he was again defeated in presidential elections. In 2007, the party's candidate for the presidential election, Ségolène Royal, was defeated by Nicolas Sarkozy.
