With 182 seats, the left-wing party NFP came first and the extreme right-wing party RN was limited to third place.
Kathmandu. The results of the second and decisive phase of the parliamentary elections in France have been announced yesterday. For the first time since the Second World War, the desire of the extreme right-wing party to win the majority has been dealt a blow.
According to the public results, the Left Party (NFP) won 182 seats and became the largest party. Similarly, President Emmanuel Macron’s ruling alliance, Unsemble, won 168 seats and secured the second place.
The extreme right-wing and anti-immigration party ‘National Rally (RN)’ of Marine Lee Pen and Jordan Bardella won a total of 143 seats. Along with this, RN lost the opportunity to lead the government for the first time.
Conservative Republicans won 45 seats in the 577-member French Parliament. 289 seats are required for a majority in the parliament. Since no party has won a single majority, it is seen that the coalition of the left party and President Macron will form a joint government.
Today, the current Prime Minister Gabriel Atal has started preparations to resign to President Macron. It is said that the President will call on New Popular Front NFP to form the government.
In the first round of voting last Sunday, RN won a historic victory by getting one third of the votes. The left-wing alliance NFP was second and President Emmanuel Macron’s coalition Unsemble was third.
However, in the first phase, the right-wing party RN lost its historic victory as the NFP and Unsambal agreed to help each other because of the overwhelming votes brought by the RN in the first phase.
After a surprising victory in the elections, the left-wing leader Jean-Luc Melenson has said that his alliance will recognize the statehood of Palestine. Earlier, four European countries, Spain, Norway, Ireland and Slovenia, have recognized the state of Palestine
