This is a first since the implementation of the five -year term in 2002. The presidential coalition has won only a majority relating to the National Assembly at the end of the second round of legislative elections, Sunday, June 19, according to the first estimates.

Together! Obtains 224 seats, according to the first Ipsos-Sopra Steria estimates for France Télévisions, Radio France, France 24-RFI-MCD and LCP-Aexélée. Far from the 289 deputies necessary for an absolute majority. The Republic En Marche (LRM) and its allies only manage to elect 154 deputies, where the LRM parliamentary group had 262 deputies in the finishing legislature.

The presidential majority is followed by the Union of lefts of the new Ecological and Social People’s People’s Union (Nuts), Quiremporte 149 seats, including 86 for rebellious France (LFI). The National Rally (RN) produces a historical breakthrough by electing 89 deputies in this new assembly and becomes, outside the coalition, the opposition party with the most elected officials.

For the first time during a majority ballot under the V e republic, the far -right party also exceeds the threshold of the 15 deputies necessary for the constitution of a parliamentary group, this which will allow him to weigh more in the instances of the Palais-Bourbon and legislative work. The only previous date of 1986, when the National Front had succeeded in having a group of thirty-five deputies, elected during the elections organized by proportional ballot.

On the right, the Les Républicains group loses 22 seats (78 deputies against 100 in the outgoing assembly) but avoids the disaster announced for the party after the Valérie Pécresse score in the presidential election. It could even be an extra force for the presidential camp during the study of bills.
