Legislative: why Nupes, well placed in the first round, is left behind in the projections in number of seats

Elbow to elbow, tight duel, near equality… In the aftermath of the first round of the legislative elections, and even if each of the two coalitions claims its “victory”, it is difficult to decide between Nupes and Ensemble. In fact, they obtained the same score or almost on Sunday. 25.66% for the union of the left and 25.75% for the coalition behind Emmanuel Macron. According to figures from the Interior, 21,000 votes separate them, out of 23.3 million voters in the first round.
