France faces hung parliament after election result

France is currently in a state of political uncertainty after parliamentary elections resulted in a hung parliament, with no party able to secure a majority. The far-right National Rally, led by Marine Le Pen, suffered a blow in the elections, winning 143 seats, falling behind President Emmanuel Macron’s Ensemble Alliance, which secured 168 seats.

The left-wing New Popular Front emerged as the largest coalition, claiming 182 seats in total. The leader of the National Rally, Jordan Bardella, attributed their failure to gain power to what he called “unnatural political alliances.”

The outcome of the elections has left France with a fractured political landscape, raising questions about the future direction of the country. The struggle for power and influence between the different parties is likely to continue in the coming months, as they seek to form alliances and negotiate a way forward.
