Le Pen Rivals Set to Block Far-Right French Majority, Polls Show
- Far right and allies seen winning between 190 and 250 seats
- Voters head to polling stations for second round on Sunday
Marine Le Pen’s National Rally is set to fall well short of an absolute majority in the French legislative election on Sunday, according to projections from polling companies.
The far-right group and its allies are on course to win between 190 and 250 of the 577 seats in the National Assembly, based on four surveys released on Wednesday and Thursday. That would be significantly below the 289 that would enable it to pass bills easily and push through its agenda.
