June 19, 2022 at 20:01 Forecasts: Macron is likely to lose the majority in the National Assembly According to election day forecasts, Macron’s party is likely to get less than half of the 577 seats in the French parliament. French President Emmanuel Macron’s alliance in the National Assembly is poised to get the most seats, but will probably lose the majority, according to forecasts. This means that it can be difficult for Macron to get through his policy. Macron’s alliance Ensemble is poised to get between 200-260 seats, reports the French news agency AFP. 289 seats are needed to get a majority in the French National Assembly. Right-wing populist Marine Le Pen and her party are set to make a dent in the number of seats in the National Assembly, according to forecasts that came when the polls closed at 20. They could end up with more than 80 seats.
