In an unexpected turn of events, exit polls suggest that the left-wing New Popular Front (NFP) coalition has won the most seats in the second round of France’s parliamentary elections. This outcome defies earlier predictions that Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN) party would emerge as the dominant force in French politics.
[block_2]According to an IFOP estimate for broadcaster TF1, the NFP could secure between 180 and 215 seats in parliament. Similarly, an Ipsos poll for France TV projected 172-215 seats for the left-wing bloc. These results place the NFP ahead of both President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist group and the National Rally.
