Not only were the French legislative elections of 2024 one of the most unexpected elections of the year, but they also returned one of the most unexpected results. The elections were called when President Macron dissolved the French parliament following the surge in support for the far-right party, the National Rally, in the European Parliamentary elections in early June. The first round of voting took place on June 30, with the National Rally coming out ahead with the largest vote share, at 29 percent, while Macron's party (around twenty percent) was the third most popular party behind a new left-wing alliance called the New Popular Front (28 percent).
Due to the French electoral system, many more races than usual went to a three-way second round of voting on July 7. However, these results saw the New Popular Front emerge as the most popular coalition, with 182 seats. The Ensemble Alliance also moved into second place, while the National Rally was in third. However, as no coalition has won the 289 seats required to establish a ruling majority, the assembly is in a deadlock, and it remains to be seen whether these parties will merge to form a government, and who the new French Prime Minister may be.
