French Early Parliamentary Election Results
First Round Victory for Right-Wing
In a surprising turn of events, the far-right National Rally party has emerged victorious in the first round of France's early parliamentary election. The party led by Marine Le Pen secured around 30% of the vote, outpacing both the incumbent centrist La République en Marche (LREM) and the left-wing NUPES coalition.
Second Round Runoff
With no party securing a clear majority, the election will proceed to a second round on July 7th. The top two candidates from each constituency will compete for the remaining 577 seats in the National Assembly. The results of the second round will determine which party or coalition will form the next government.
The outcome of the election has sent shockwaves through the French political landscape. It remains to be seen whether LREM and NUPES can unite to prevent a far-right victory or if the National Rally will capitalize on its momentum to secure control of the parliament.
