According to the results of the polling group, Marine Le Pen came in first place in Sunday’s legislative elections, while incumbent President Macron’s Central Coalition came in third. The voters gave the RN 34% of the vote, compared to 29.1% for the left-wing New Popular Front alliance, and just 22% for Macron’s centrist camp. Along with inflation and economic concerns, French voters are deeply disappointed by Macron’s leadership.
The first round of this year’s elections, called by Macron after a disastrous defeat in the European Parliament elections, saw a record turnout. Polls suggested that 67.5 percent of people voted in a national election, the highest voter turnout since 1981. The turnout in 2022 was 47.5 percent. Despite the victory, it is not yet confirmed whether Le Pen’s party will win a majority in the second round of the National Assembly on July 7 and claim the post of prime minister.
In the second round, elections will be held in those seats where the majority was less and it will form the final form of the National Assembly. This vote will allow the RN Party to form a government for the first time in France.

Bardella had said that he would form the government if the party won a majority, but in 2027 due to the Cohabitation Force, the party decided that the far-right would become prime minister and Macron would continue his term until 2027.
