On July 1, 2024, French President Macron dissolved the parliament to hold early national elections, but his political gamble failed as the far-right 'National Rally' achieved an unprecedented victory with 33% of the votes, while left-wing alliance garnered 29% and Macron's centrist ruling party trailed with 22%. If the far-right 'National Rally' secures an absolute majority in the July 7 runoff, their leader will become the Prime Minister, significantly weakening Macron's power and turning him into a 'lame duck' president. Macron's gamble backfired as his attempt to prevent the far-right from dominating the parliament failed, resulting in a record-high voter turnout; voters voiced dissatisfaction with his policies and now face a second round of voting between the highest-ranking left and right parties.
