The battle for victory in the election, who determines the winner??
In a surprising turn of events, the French left-wing coalition, the New Popular Front (NFP), emerged victorious in the recent legislative elections, overtaking the far-right National Party (RN). This outcome came after French President Emmanuel Macron's unexpected call for snap elections last month.
With voter turnout reaching 67.1%, the highest in over 40 years, initial estimates showed the NFP gaining the most seats, followed by Macron’s centrist Ensemble coalition, and the far-right RN in third place. However, no party secured an absolute majority, leaving the country's political future uncertain.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the NFP, celebrated the results as a clear rejection of a far-right government, emphasizing the public's desire to avoid "the worst case scenario." Despite the RN achieving its most significant gains in history, the party's campaign was overshadowed by accusations of racism and antisemitism.
Prime Minister Gabriel Attal resigned shortly after the results were announced, increasing pressure on Macron to appoint someone from the NFP coalition. Meanwhile, at the RN electoral base, supporters reacted with shock and disappointment. Marine Le Pen, the far-right leader, did not make an appearance, leaving party president Jordan Bardella to acknowledge the underwhelming results and pledge to continue fighting for power.
Overall, the election highlighted the French electorate's preference for left-wing policies and their rejection of far-right ideologies.
