Far right wins first round of France’s parliamentary election, projection shows.
Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN) party has taken the lead in the first round of France’s parliamentary elections, initial projections showed, taking it closer to the gates of power than ever before.
After unusually high turnout, the RN bloc won with 34% of the vote, while left-wing New Popular Front (NFP) coalition came second with 28.1% and President Emmanuel Macron’s Ensemble alliance slumped to a dismal third with 20.3%, according to initial estimates by Ipsos.
While the RN appears on track to win the most seats in the National Assembly, it may fall short of the 289 seats required for an absolute majority, suggesting France may be heading for a hung parliament and more political uncertainty. #france #CNN #News
