Final results in France say a leftist coalition 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 ring-wing National Rally party in third. No one has a majority of parliament seats. The National Rally party has drastically increased the number of seats it holds in parliament but fell far short of expectations.
