French Parliamentary Elections: Ensemble Gains Ground Amid Political Uncertainty
Hung Parliament, Deep Uncertainty
France is facing a hung parliament and deep political uncertainty after the three main political groups of the left and right failed to secure a majority in the first round of parliamentary elections.
Macron's Ensemble Surprises
President Emmanuel Macron's party, Ensemble, has emerged as a surprise second force, surpassing expectations and challenging the traditional left-right divide. Ensemble is projected to win between 150 and 170 seats, putting it in a potential kingmaker position.
Hung Parliament
With no party securing a clear majority, France now confronts a hung parliament where alliances and compromises will be crucial for governing. The far-right National Rally and the left-wing Nupes alliance led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon are expected to play a significant role as potential coalition partners or as fierce opposition.
