PARIS (Reuters) - French Prime Minister Jean Castex said on Tuesday that Emmanuel Macron was not guaranteed to win the April 24 runoff in the presidential election against far-right candidate Marine Le Pen.

"The game is not done and dusted," Castex told France inter radio. "One puts Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen on the same level. But there are key differences."
