Paris: Early estimates show that France’s far-right National Rally (RN) has won the most votes in the first round of parliamentary elections, leaving President Emmanuel Macron’s coalition facing defeat.
Assessments after the first round of French parliamentary elections confirm the dominance of far-right parties in the country’s politics, and they appear to be on the verge of power for the first time.
Exit polls show that Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN) won about 34 percent of the vote in the first phase of the parliamentary election, giving the party nearly 240 seats in parliament. Most likely to get between 270 seats.
