The spokesman for embattled French conservative presidential candidate Francois Fillon announced Friday he is leaving the campaign, the latest in a growing list of defectors.

"I've decided to end my duties as Francois Fillon's spokesman," Thierry Solere said on his Twitter account as Fillon battles to save his campaign while facing charges in a fake jobs scandal.

A member of the veteran Alain Juppe's entourage said Friday that the former prime minister was ready to step in as the conservative presidential candidate if the 62-year-old Fillon decides to pull out.

Already gone from Fillon's campaign are two deputy directors, the treasurer and his foreign affairs spokesman.
