However, according to opinion polls, Macron’s party comes first.
Most French polling stations and television stations show Jean-Luc Melanson’s Popular Union coming first in the first round of parliamentary elections in France, but less than one percentage point behind Emmanuel Macron’s party.
However, in terms of the seats that each team will win in the second round next Sunday, Macron’s team is coming first according to the polls, with several chances to win the absolute majority, ie to have more than 289 seats.
Earlier, according to the Ipsos poll on behalf of the television network France 24, a thriller is predicted, as well as the party of Macron Ensemble! (Together!) And Melanson’s left-wing coalition Nupes (People’s Union) have both rate 25.2%. In third place, Lepen’s far-right party won 18.9% of the vote, while Les Républicains came in fourth with 13.7%.
The polling stations of the big cities closed at 9 pm (Greek time) to follow the first exit polls, as well as the projections for the number of seats that each coalition will occupy after the second round next Sunday.
