French Parliamentary Elections 2024
8th July 2024
Despite widespread relief that the predicted electoral victory for the extreme right did not materialise, they made substantial gains, and there are choppy waters ahead for France.
To the surprise of most commentators, it was the left-wing alliance (Nouveau Front Populaire - NFP) that came out ahead in the second round of the parliamentary elections, in terms of the number of seats, with the extreme right Rassemblement National (RN) relegated to third place.
