Nouvelle Union Populaire écologique et sociale

Macron's option expected to win an absolute majority, as in the previous elections in 2017.
The Parisian "Le Monde" estimates that it is a "nightmare" for the head of state who called on the French to give him clear and convincing support during the campaign, and that Macron is now facing cohabitation and serious difficulties in implementing his policy.

The election results so far show that the left-wing coalition led by Jean-Luc Mlenchon has a slight advantage in the number of votes won in the first round of parliamentary elections.

French President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance was in danger of falling short of a majority after the first round of parliamentary elections on Sunday saw a surge in support for a new left-wing coalition.
