In France's early elections, the far-right party National Rally was expected to win with a huge majority, but instead of winning in the elections, it came in third place

But in the final results, the left-wing coalition called the New Popular Front won the most seats

All opinion polls predicted the National Rally (RN) to win in the first phase due to its performance

No party has been able to win a majority in the French elections and now there is a hung parliament as France's 577-seat National Assembly needs 289 seats for any party to form a government with a simple majority.

Gabriel Atal was appointed Prime Minister by President McKhowan only seven months ago. He has said that he will submit his resignation in the morning. However, he has also indicated that his alliance is poised to win three times as many seats

Speaking from his residence, French Prime Minister Garrel Attal said French voters had rejected the possibility of an extreme government. He praised all the candidates who dropped out of the race to prevent RN from winning

It should be noted that a total of 217 candidates had announced their withdrawal to stop the RN, including members of McKhowan's party

Gabriel Atal said that tomorrow morning I will submit my resignation. A new era is starting from tonight
