French Runoff Election Upset! Far-right Defeated by Left, Falls to Third Largest Party in Parliament

Reported about 1 year ago

In a major turnaround during the second round of the French parliamentary election, the far-right party 'National Rally', which had a significant lead in the first round and was expected to secure an absolute majority in parliament, was unexpectedly defeated by the left-wing alliance, becoming the third largest party. The left alliance won 182 seats, becoming the largest party, while President Macron's center alliance secured 163 seats. With no clear majority among the three parties, the government faces deadlock, as Macron is now required to appoint a new prime minister and form a new government amidst a lack of cooperation among the parties, leading to potential chaos in the coming months.
