A story certainly very surprising. The Real Madrid striker, Karim Benzema, was credited with one vote in the first round of the presidential election in France on Sunday. A footballer at the peak of his career, he won a vote in the election. One person voted for the 34-year-old Frenchman in Roubaix in the North.

Current top scorer of La Liga with 24 goals, Karim Benzema is making the headlines in Spain and France. The French international seduces everyone this season to the point of having been chosen in the ballot box at the end of the first round of the presidential election in France.

Indeed, in front of the ballot box on Sunday, April 10, 2022, in Roubaix in the North of France, a French voter has closed his eyes on the 12 candidates in the race, preferring to vote for Karim Benzema. The rapper Maes, since it is him, took care to post his vote on social networks. Unfortunately for him, his vote was counted as a null ballot.
