The French National Assembly is set for a pivotal moment as newly elected deputies gather to choose their leader.
With no clear majority, the election for the Assembly's president on July 18th could require multiple rounds of voting.
This decision is critical, as the winning group may influence the formation of the next government.
The Assembly will also select vice-presidents, questors, and commission heads in the following days.
These roles are vital for the chamber's functioning, including managing debates, overseeing finances, and scrutinizing legislation.
The outcome of these votes will shape the direction of France's 17th legislature under the Fifth Republic.
