The New Popular Front, a left-wing alliance in France, is facing challenges in selecting a Prime Minister candidate.

Socialist Party leader Olivier Faure has suggested a vote among parliamentarians to resolve the deadlock.

Two potential candidates have emerged: Huguette Bello and Laurence Tubiana.

Tubiana, an economist and climate diplomat, has expressed willingness to take on the role, emphasizing the need for left-wing policies to address social and ecological urgencies.

However, the far-left party La France Insoumise opposes her candidacy, viewing her as too moderate.

The alliance's inability to agree on a candidate highlights the internal divisions within the left-wing coalition.
