According to final results, the Nouveau Front Populaire left-wing alliance won 182 seats in France's Assemblée Nationale, ahead of Macron's coalition (168) and the far-right Rassemblement National (143).
They’d be wise to not have Melenchon to be a candidate for Macron’s position though, because he still has some actually extreme views. If they can present a more moderate option then that’d be a good step though. Either way, Le Pen lost again, and that’s the main goal here.
This was just an election for the French parliament. Macron is president, who is directly elected by the French public. However the next presidential election is in 2027.
