France’s National Rally party (RN) came third in the first round of legislative elections on Sunday. Ahead in 108 of the 577 constituencies, the party’s performance gives weight to leader Marine Le Pen’s hopes to form a parliamentary group for the first time since 1986.

 

RN won 18.68 percent of the vote in the first round, well behind the left-wing Nupes alliance (25.66 percent) and the presidential majority Together (Ensemble) on 25.75 percent.

 

But it will field candidates in next Sunday's second round in more than 200 constituencies, and is in the lead in 108.

 

The party has significantly improved its score in the 2017 parliamentary elections, when it won 13.2 percent of the vote.
