Emmanuel Macron will not have an absolute majority in the National Assembly. The coalition “Together! » won only 246 seats out of 577: the smallest relative majority of the Fifth Republic. Results that raise the question of Emmanuel Macron’s ability to be able to govern the country and get the promised reforms passed, in particular that of pensions.
The left alliance under the banner of Nupes (LFI, PS, EELV and PCF) managed to become the leading opposition force in the National Assembly with 142 seats. Behind her, the National Rally achieves a historic score in legislative elections: 89 seats. In 2017, the National Front had only obtained eight deputies.
As in the first round, more than one out of two voters shunned the ballot boxes during the second round. Abstention has further increased between 53.5% and 54%, compared to the first round. But it did not break the 2017 record (57.36%). It nevertheless reached its second highest level for this election.
