On the evening of the European elections, Marine le Pen and Jordan Bardella's Rassemblement National (RN) came out on top with 31% of the votes.
Against all expectations, the NUPES (alliance of the left), which had seemingly broken up for several months, managed to agree on a common programme and renamed itself the Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP).
Compared with the 2022 elections, the age groups that saw the biggest increase in attendance were 18-24 year-olds (+124%) and 25-34 year-olds (+60%). These were also the only two age groups to widely vote for the NFP (the left-wing party).
Although the RN came out on top in most of the 577 constituencies, this first round of legislative elections highlighted a France more politically divided than ever.
