In a stunning turn of events, the New Popular Front, a left-wing coalition, has emerged victorious in France's legislative elections.

The unexpected win has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, with thousands celebrating in the streets of Paris.

Despite falling short of an absolute majority, the coalition secured the largest number of seats in the National Assembly.

This result marks a significant shift in French politics, creating a tripartite division in parliament.

The far-right National Rally, while making gains, failed to achieve its anticipated breakthrough.

The election outcome reflects a strong 'anti-far-right' sentiment among voters, with many casting their ballots strategically to block the National Rally's advance.
