The French National Assembly has elected new leadership, with Yaël Braun-Pivet re-elected as President.
The election of six vice-presidents followed, excluding the far-right National Rally party.
This comes after recent legislative elections where the 'republican front' strategy significantly impacted results.
Over 100 deputies, including a third from the presidential coalition, won their seats due to this anti-far-right alliance.
The left-wing parties, now united as the New Popular Front (NFP), are calling for a parliamentary vote to select the Prime Minister by Tuesday.
These developments highlight ongoing political tensions and shifting alliances in the French parliament.
