Voting is underway in mainland France on Sunday in pivotal run-off elections that could hand a historic victory to Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally and its inward-looking, anti-immigrant vision — or produce a hung parliament and political deadlock. French President Emmanuel Macron took a huge gamble in dissolving parliament and calling for the elections after his centrists were trounced in European elections on June 9.

The first round saw the far-right National Rally top the legislative polls, nearly doubling its support, and leaving President Emmanuel Macron reeling.

But despite the party nearly doubling its support since France last elected its National Assembly in 2022, it is not tipped in today's second round to secure a majority in the ...

France's Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has decided to suspend a proposed revamp of the country’s unemployment benefit system following the first round of France's legislative elections. On Sunday, the right-wing National Rally party (RN) and its allies won 33% of the vote, followed by the left-wing alliance, the New Popular Front, on 28%. President Macron's Ensemble coalition came in third, with just shy of 21% of the vote.

The French government has banned TikTok on the island of New Caledonia. Gabriel Attal, the Prime Minister of France, has taken the decision amid riots in New Caledonia, which is one of France's overseas territories.
