France is experiencing political turmoil following unexpected legislative elections results.
The left-wing alliance, New Popular Front (NFP), emerged victorious, challenging President Emmanuel Macron's leadership.
Negotiations within the NFP to nominate a Prime Minister have been tense, with La France Insoumise proposing controversial figures including Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
Socialist Party members are pushing for their leader, Olivier Faure.
President Macron's reluctance to acknowledge the election outcome has drawn criticism from both left and right, with former Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin reminding him of 'republican tradition'.
The political landscape remains uncertain as France grapples with this unprecedented situation.
