French President Emmanuel Macron could lose his outright majority in parliament, forcing him to compromise and rely on coalition partners to push forward his ambitious reforms.
The party headed by the 44-year-old centrist, who was reelected in April, and his allies are expected to win between 262 and 301 seats in the National Assembly, according to a compilation of projections by five pollsters based on Sunday’s first round of votes.
A total of 289 lawmakers is needed for an outright majority.
