French Voters Return to Polls in Legislative Elections
Macron's Party Faces Uphill Battle
Live Results Announced as Polls Closed
Paris, France – French voters cast their ballots on Sunday, June 30, in legislative elections that could determine the future of President Emmanuel Macron's reform agenda.
Macron's centrist party, La République en Marche (LREM), faces an uphill battle as it seeks to maintain its majority in the National Assembly. Opinion polls indicate that the far-right National Rally party, led by Marine Le Pen, could make significant gains.
The elections are being held three weeks after Macron won reelection in the presidential runoff against Le Pen. However, LREM lost ground in the first round of the parliamentary elections, and the party now needs to form alliances with other parties to secure a majority.
Polls closed at 8 p.m. local time (1400 GMT), and results are expected to be announced throughout the night. Our team will provide live updates as the results come in.
