In a surprising turn of events in the French parliamentary elections, the left-wing New Popular Front has emerged as the leading party in the second round, surpassing Marine Le Pen's far-right party, as per an IPSOS estimate following the runoff elections.
The New Popular Front, a coalition of five parties, is expected to secure between 172 to 192 seats. However, to achieve an absolute majority, a minimum of 289 seats is required.
