He beat incumbent,Nikola Sakorzy after two rounds of ballots.
Hollande is the first socialist, since ex President Francois Mitterrand won in 1981.
Hollande got 51.9 per cent against Sakorzy's 48.1
Sarkozy, analysts believe, lost because he drifted to the far right during the last legs of campaigns.
