Voting was under way in France for the high-stakes, second-round parliamentary election with a surge in support for the left-wing alliance threatening recently re-elected President Emmanuel Macron’s hopes for an outright majority. Macron’s coalition hopes to win an outright majority of 289 seats to carry out tough reforms. Analysts say the turnout is crucial to whether a new left-wing alliance can pose a serious threat to Macron’s majority. Opinion polls predict Macron’s Ensemble (Together) coalition of centrist and centre-right parties will end up with the biggest number of seats, but say it is in no way guaranteed to reach the threshold for an absolute majority.

The French president hopes to secure an outright majority to carry out tough reforms.
