See the latest results in each of the 577 constituencies of the Assemblée Nationale

The French Interior Ministry has confirmed the final results of Sunday's election, which saw a 66.63% voter turnout. The far-right National Rally (RN) made significant gains, winning 33.4% of the vote in the first round.

The RN's success was largely due to strong support in rural areas, where it won 37.8% of the vote. The party also made gains in urban areas, where it won 27.9% of the vote.

The RN's gains are a major setback for President Emmanuel Macron's centrist government. Macron's party, La République en Marche (REM), won 25.7% of the vote in the first round.

The second round of voting will be held on June 19. The RN is hoping to build on its strong showing in the first round and win a significant number of seats in the Assemblée Nationale.

The RN's gains in the parliamentary election are a sign of the growing strength of the far-right in France. The party has been capitalizing on public discontent with the government's handling of the economy and immigration.

If the RN wins a significant number of seats in the Assemblée Nationale, it will be able to block legislation and make it difficult for Macron to govern. This could lead to a period of political instability in France.

Conclusion

The RN's gains in the parliamentary election are a major development in French politics. The party is now a major force in French politics, and its success is a sign of the growing strength of the far-right in France. The second round of voting will be held on June 19, and the results will have a major impact on the future of French politics.
