The leftist New Popular Front (NFP) grabbed the top spot in the second round of the French legislative election on Sunday in a major upset over the far-right, according to projections. The New Popular Front (NFP) was expected to have 172-215 seats, whereas French President Emmanuel Macron's centrist Ensemble alliance was in second with 150 to 180 MPs. Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally unexpectedly landed in third place with 120 to 152 seats. French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, a Macron ally, said he will offer his resignation after the vote.
