Voting is taking place for elections in France amid the growing power of conservatives

Voting took place for the first phase of parliamentary elections in France. This election is being seen as a test for President Emmanuel Macron, who is hoping to get a majority in this election. Macron's coalition is facing a tough challenge from the leftist coalition.

There is hope that for the first time since World War II, France may have a conservative government. Which can prove to be a big change in the European Union. Earlier this month, elections were held for the European Parliament on June 6. Meanwhile, the most worrying political situations were seen in France. Here, the national rally of France's radical leader Marine La Pen gave a big blow to Macron's party. After this, President Macron surprised everyone by suddenly announcing national elections before the final results. Macron said that I have decided that you choose your parliamentary future through your vote. That's why I am dissolving the National Assembly. Radical conservative parties are growing. This is a situation that I cannot accept. Voting for general elections will be held in France on Sunday, June 30 and next July 7.

Voting on 577 seats

Voting will take place in France from 11:30 am to 9:30 pm Indian time. Exit poll results may come out overnight. While the second phase of voting is to be held a week later. However, it may prove difficult to predict the exact distribution of seats in the 577-seat National Assembly.

Iran to hold elections for new president on July 5 after low voter turnout

In Iran, social reformer Masoud Pezeshkian and hardliner Saeed Jalili won the election, but no one got a majority. Because of this, the country will hold presidential elections again on July 5 next week. According to Iran's Interior Ministry, only 40 percent of the more than 61 million eligible Iranians voted, which is a record low turnout in any election since 1979. According to data from the ministry's election headquarters, Pezeshkian received more than 10.41 million votes out of a total of 24.5 million ballots, while former nuclear speculator Saeed Jalili got 9.47 million votes. It is worth noting that this is the second presidential election in Iran after the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Presidential elections are being held in the country after the death of Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash.
