Far-right National Rally party leader Marine Le Pen is seeking broader support beyond her party to secure an absolute majority in the French parliamentary elections, as mainstream rivals are pulling candidates to block her from taking control. National Rally and allies dominated the first voting round, with projections indicating they may reach the 289-seat threshold for majority. Macron's coalition and left-wing alliance are strategically withdrawing candidates to prevent this. The potential for a hung parliament raises the possibility of a broad, minority government in France.
