– Leftist Coalition Set For Shock Victory In French Election; Le Pen Limps To 3rd Behind Macron!:
The last-minute-arranged broad left-wing coalition known as The New Popular Front (NFP), was leading a tight French legislative election Sunday, ahead of both President Emmanuel Macron’s centrists and Le Pen’s rightists, projections showed.
Provisional estimates from four pollsters suggest the following seat projections:
- Left Alliance Set for 170-215 Seats
- Macron’s Group Set for 150-182 Seats
- Le Pen’s Group Set for 110-158 Seats
It looks like the anti-National Rally front worked better than anyone expected, catching the polling companies by surprise.
The projected results suggest that the co-ordinated anti-RN strategy, under which the left and center tactically withdrew their candidates from run-offs, had paid off.
