Leftists in France win majority of seats in snap election, resulting in political gridlock

France’s left-wing alliance has emerged as the dominant force in the country’s parliamentary elections, winning the most seats in the second round of voting. However, they have fallen short of achieving an absolute majority, leading to a political deadlock. The far-right National Rally has trailed behind, coming in third place in the election results. This outcome has set the stage for a challenging political landscape in France, with no single party or coalition able to secure a clear mandate. Al Jazeera’s Bernard Smith brings us the latest updates from Paris as the country grapples with this political uncertainty.
