Hundreds celebrated in central Paris as exit polls projected the far right failed to win a majority in France's parliamentary elections. The left-wing coalition won the most seats, but no majority, leaving President Emmanuelle Macron's centrist alliance in second and the far right in third, resulting in political uncertainty.
The projections put President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance in second place, no longer in control of parliament, and the bruised far right in third. Ms Le Pen’s 28-year-old protégé, Jordan Bardella, who had aspirations to become the prime minister, blames the outcome of the vote on alliances made by President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Gabriel Attal with groups from the Far Left.
Mr Attal says he will remain in the post during the upcoming Paris Olympics and for as long as needed, given that polling projections show that no party has won an outright majority.
