France’s left-wing political coalition, the New Popular Front, is celebrating after exit polls in the second round of parliamentary elections predicted it was on course for victory. France's far-right National Rally had been widely expected to win the election after leading in the first round of voting. The snap election was called by a weakened President Macron, in response to a surge in support for the far-right party led by Marine Le Pen. Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who was appointed by President Macron only seven months ago, has said he is planning to resign.
