Pollsters are indicating that the anti-immigration National Rally party could greatly increase its number of politicians in the National Assembly.
Candidates standing in the snap French legislative election called by President Emmanuel Macron were making their last campaign pushes ahead of the first round of voting on Sunday.
French president Emmanuel Macron called the early election in hopes of shoring up support for his government Mr Bardella, a 28-year-old protege of National Rally leader Marine Le Pen and with no governing experience, says he would use the powers of prime minister to stop Mr Macron from continuing to supply long-range weapons to Ukraine.
But France’s two-round system of voting — with initial balloting on Sunday to thin down the field for decisive follow-up voting on July 7 — means the election’s ultimate outcome is uncertain. His gamble triggered an unforeseen redrawing of France’s political map even before French voters overseas started casting ballots online this week.
