The Latest | In a surprise, French leftists have won the most seats in legislative elections

Final results in France say a leftist coalition that came together to try to keep the far right from power has won the most parliamentary seats in runoff elections. There was high voter turnout.

President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance has come in second and the far right in third. No one has a majority of parliament seats. The far right has drastically increased the number of seats it holds in parliament but fell far short of expectations.

The prime minister says he will turn in his resignation. Many questions lie ahead.

What happens next in this nuclear-armed nation has potential impact on the war in Ukraine, global diplomacy and Europe’s economic stability.
