Best Answer

François Mitterand was a political leader of the French socialist party. he was elected as French president in 1981 and reelected in 1988. He left in 1995 and died shortly after from cancer.
He served two full terms of seven years, becoming the longest-serving French president (the presidential terms having been reduced to five years, and as a president cannot run for a third consecutive term, that record will hold until the constitution is again revised).
