According to initial estimates, the Nouveau Front Populaire left-wing alliance is projected to win between 172 and 192 seats in France's Assemblée Nationale, ahead of Macron's coalition (between 150 and 170) and the far-right Rassemblement National (between 132 and 152).
They’d be wise to not have Melenchon to be a candidate for Macron’s position though, because he still has some actually extreme views. If they can present a more moderate option then that’d be a good step though. Either way, Le Pen lost again, and that’s the main goal here.
This was just an election for the French parliament. Macron is president, who is directly elected by the French public. However the next presidential election is in 2027.
