Live Election Results: French Voters Head to the Polls
Subheading: Far-Right National Rally Makes Gains in First Round
Live Map Tracks Results as They Come In
French voters returned to the polls on Sunday, June 30, three weeks after President Emmanuel Macron's victory in the presidential election. The parliamentary election is seen as a crucial test of Macron's ability to govern, as he seeks a majority in the National Assembly to implement his agenda.
In the first round of the election, the far-right National Rally (RN) made significant gains, winning 334 seats. This is a substantial increase from the 8 seats they won in the previous parliamentary election in 2017.
However, a left-wing alliance, known as the New People's Ecological and Social Union (NUPES), has won the most seats in the parliament, with 329. This alliance includes parties from the far-left to the Green Party.
The results of the second round of the election are still being tallied, but the latest projections suggest that the left-wing alliance is likely to maintain its lead. This would be a major setback for Macron, who had hoped to win a clear majority in parliament.
