- Far-Right Presence: The first round of voting highlighted the strong showing of the nationalist, anti-immigration National Rally party. The question remains whether they will secure enough seats for an absolute majority.
- Coalition Dynamics: With over 300 three-way races in the first round, the withdrawal of candidates from left-wing parties and President Macron’s centrist coalition has set the stage for intense competition in the runoffs.
- Potential Outcomes: The election results could force President Emmanuel Macron to form alliances with far-right factions or lead to increased political instability in the run-up to the Paris Summer Olympics.
- Timing of Results: Polls are set to close at various times on Sunday evening, with nationwide seat projections expected shortly after. Official results will be announced progressively throughout the night.
