Extreme right-wing National Union Party leader Marlene Le Pen easily won with over 58.14% of the votes in the northern Énaunboumou constituency in France, securing over half of the votes in the first round. The National Union's nationwide vote share of 33% ranks first, with an estimated increase in seats from 88 to between 230 and 280. The second round of voting in seven days will determine whether they can achieve an absolute majority and stable governance. The elections also saw the emergence of the left-wing 'New People's Front' party and a significant setback for President Macron's 'Together' moderate party, with the potential for a 'hung parliament' scenario. The aftermath of the election has left many feeling apprehensive and fearful, with challenges ahead for the French political landscape.
