In a stunning turn of events, the French legislative elections have yielded unexpected results.

The Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP) has emerged victorious, securing between 180 to 215 seats, defying earlier polls.

This outcome marks a significant shift from pre-election predictions, which had favored the Rassemblement National (RN) to win with 170 to 210 seats.

The RN, previously expected to lead, has been relegated to third place.

This surprise result has shocked political observers and highlights a dramatic change in the French political landscape.

The increased voter turnout is believed to have played a crucial role in shaping these unexpected results.
