According to the Ministry of Interior's provisional final results reported by the French newspaper Le Monde, the RN received about 33% of the vote, including its allies, followed by the leftist coalition New Popular Front with about 28%. The centrist ruling coalition only accounted for around 21%. This is the first time that the far-right has won the most votes in the first round of the House of Representatives election.
Elections are based on a single-member constituency system, and if no candidate receives a majority of votes in the first round, a run-off election is held between the top two candidates, and even those in third place or below must receive at least 12.5% of the voters. be eligible to participate. In the final election, the person with the most votes wins. A total of 76 people were selected in the first round of voting.
According to research firm IFOP, the RN is expected to win 240 to 270 seats, while the New Popular Front will win 180 to 200 seats. The ruling coalition is expected to hold between 60 and 90 seats, a significant decrease from the 250 seats it had before its dissolution. Another survey predicts that the RN will win a majority of 289 seats.
In France, the president has traditionally nominated the prime minister from a parliamentary majority. RN leader Bardera has expressed his desire to become prime minister after winning a majority of seats, and former leader Le Pen, who effectively heads the RN, called for further support, saying, ``We need a majority of seats.'' Mr. Macron appealed to all parties for "broad cooperation" in the lead-up to the run-off. In the future, electoral cooperation with other powers will also be a focus.
The election was held after Macron, whose ruling coalition suffered a landslide defeat to the RN in June's European Parliament elections, dissolved parliament to question the people's confidence. Voter turnout was 66.7%. This was the highest first-round vote since 2002.
