PARIS: France’s parliamentary elections are likely to lead to a hung parliament where the left-wing National Popular Front (NFP) unexpectedly crushed the right-wing National Rally (RN)’s hopes of forming a government. have done
According to the report of the foreign news agency Reuters, as a result of the French elections, contrary to polls and surveys, a hung parliament is emerging where no majority party will be in a position to form a government alone.
The election results were a major blow for France’s right-wing parties as surveys had predicted an easy win for them, but left-wing and centrist candidates consolidated the anti-RN vote thanks to constituencies. Prove them wrong.
According to the report, the election results will divide the French parliament into three major parliamentary groups that have different ideologies and no tradition of working together.
The election results also dealt a major blow to President Emmanuel Macron, who announced early elections in the country last month after his supporters were defeated in the European Parliament.
According to the preliminary results of the French elections, the left-wing coalition of the Socialists and Greens, the NFP, is leading and is likely to win between 172 and 215 seats out of a total of 577 seats.
President Emmanuel Macron’s federalist coalition is in second place with 150 to 180 seats and the RN, initially seen as the favorite to win the election, will be third with 115 to 155 seats.
Left-wing coalition supporters gathered in the capital, Paris, and began celebrating at Greens headquarters after preliminary results were announced.
“I am satisfied,” said Moroccan-French doctor Hafsa Heshad, 34. “As a French-Moroccan doctor, I thought the way the far right was expressing its behavior was madness.”
On the other hand, there is silence in the center of RN party and young members of the party were seen checking the results.
A simple majority of 577 seats in the French parliament requires 289 seats to form a government, and under the French constitution the president cannot invite them to form a government. Which alliance succeeds in achieving the required number?
