Far-Right Party Poised for Major Win in French Parliamentary Election Amid High Voter Turnout 

Voter turnout in France’s parliamentary run-off election on Sunday reportedly rose sharply from the last time in 2022 in a ballot that could see the far-right National Rally (RN) emerge as the strongest force. 

Voting began at 8am (06:00 GMT) on Sunday and will close between 6pm (16:00 GMT) in rural areas and 8pm (18:00 GMT) in big cities.
