The French conservative presidential candidate, Francois Fillon, has suffered new setbacks in his campaign, with a political ally suspending its support.
The centrist UDI party, with 27 MPs in the lower house of parliament, says a final decision will be made next week.
It follows the revelation that Mr Fillon is facing a formal investigation over a fake job scandal involving his wife. He denies any wrongdoing.
A key aide has also left his campaign.
