Once a clear frontrunner to win presidential election£¬ Fillon is struggling to contain the affair that threw his campaign out of the track few months ahead presidential election.


Recent polls showed him trailing in the election's first round behind Marine Le Pen£¬ head of National Front party and centrist independent challenger Emmanuel Macron.


Despite sliding popularity and speculations about his ability to continue the race to the Elysee Palace£¬ the 62-year-old ex-prime minister expressed "fierce determination" to stick to his presidential bid at a press meeting in Paris on Feb. 6.
