Marine Le Pen's National Rally and its allies would get just 190-220 seats in the 577-member National Assembly, possibly ruling out a far-right minority government. A parliament with no majority can still deprive President Macron of a government committed to his policies.
Macron suddenly announced snap legislative elections after his party suffered a humbling defeat to Marine Le Pen's far-right party in the European Parliament elections. Opinion polls show Le Pen's National Rally party ahead in the upcoming polls, but without an absolute majority.
Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve confirmed that Macron (39) has won the presidential election.
France will vote in a presidential runoff between centrist Emmanuel Macron and far-right candidate Marine Le Pen today.
