French Parliamentary Elections 2024: Results and Analysis

High Voter Turnout and Redistricting Impact Results

Paris, France - July 8, 2024

The second and decisive round of the French parliamentary elections took place on July 7, 2024, with a high voter turnout of over 60%. The results mark a significant political shift, impacting the composition of the National Assembly and the balance of power in French politics.

Key findings from the election include the victory of the incumbent centrist La République En Marche! (LREM) coalition, which secured the largest number of seats in the National Assembly. However, the far-right National Rally (RN) led by Marine Le Pen made significant gains, becoming the second-largest party. The traditional right-wing Les Républicains (LR) and left-wing Socialist Party (PS) saw a decline in their representation.

Redistricting efforts also played a role in shaping the election results, with some constituencies experiencing significant changes in their electoral boundaries. The results have raised questions about the fairness of the electoral system and its impact on the distribution of power.
