भास्कर अपडेट्स: फ्रांस में दूसरे चरण की वोटिंग खत्म, एग्जिट पोल में दावा- फ्रांसीसी वामपंथियों ने ज्यादा सीटें जीतीं

The second phase of voting in France has been completed. This time the highest voter turnout has been recorded since 1981. According to the exit polls, far-left parties seem to be gaining an edge. Leaders of right-wing parties are also claiming a lead and blaming Emmanuel Macron for the political turmoil in France.

On the other hand, according to the report of Associate Press, French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said that he is planning to resign after the leftist alliance gained lead in the elections.

Earlier, in the first phase of voting on June 30, the right-wing party National Rally (NR) got the highest 35.15% votes. The left-wing New Popular Front (NFP) alliance was in second place. It got 27.99% votes.

At the same time, President Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance Party managed to get only 20.76% votes. To get a majority in the National Assembly, any party needs to win 289 seats.

The term of the French Parliament was to end in 2027, but due to a big defeat in the European Union, President Macron dissolved the Parliament prematurely this month.
