National Rally lead the first round of France’s parliamentary elections: Exit poll projections

People in France have voted to elect 577 members of the country’s National Assembly. Exit polls show that Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN) party are ahead in the first round of France’s parliamentary elections. We now head into several days of horsetrading before next week’s run-off. According to exit polls, the RN won around 34% of the vote, which puts the party ahead of leftist and centrist rivals, including President Emmanuel Macron’s Ensemble alliance, whose bloc won 20.5%- 23%. The New Popular Front, a hastily assembled left-wing coalition, was projected to win around 29% of the vote, the exit polls showed. The results from the high-turnout vote, which were in line with polls ahead of the election, have provided little clarity on whether the anti-immigrant, eurosceptic RN will be able to form a government alongside the pro-EU Macron.
