According to estimates by the Ipsos company, the number of MPs elected from the first round of parliamentary elections in France, i.e. those who gather more than 50% of the voters, will be between 65 and 85. Also, according to the same company, the constituencies in which three candidates qualify will be between 285 and 315 out of a total of 577 single-seat constituencies.

According to France’s electoral system, the first two of the first round advance to the second round, as well as the candidates who gathered more than 12.5% ​​of registered voters.

In the 2022 elections where abstention was over 50% in only five constituencies three candidates qualified. In today’s parliamentary elections, where the abstention was around 30%, the constituencies where three candidates qualify are extremely numerous.

Marine Le Pen’s National Alarm will be present in 390 to 430 districts, the left’s Popular Front will be present in 370 to 410 districts and Macron’s faction will be present in 290 to 330 districts, according to Ipsos.

In his statement, French President Emmanuel Macron said that in the face of the National Alarm, the time has come for a broad coalition with a clear democratic direction in the second round. From the side of the Popular Front, it became clear that in the constituencies where the Popular Front candidates qualified for the second round, but are in third place, they will withdraw, at the same time giving a direction to overvote any opponent of Le Pen’s party. On the contrary, the Republican party made it clear that no voting direction will be given.
