Legislative elections are expected to be held in France in 2027 to elect the 577 members of the 16th National Assembly of the Fifth French Republic . The elections are expected to take place following the 2027 French presidential election . [1] However there has been speculation that President Macron could call a snap legislative election if his government loses an important vote in the National Assembly, as he lacks a legislative majority and has the constitutional right to call snap elections. [2] [3] [4]
Background
Following the 2022 French legislative election , Ensemble lost its majority in the National Assembly. Among the member parties of the coalition was Emmanuel Macron 's party, Renaissance - for the first time since 1997 , the incumbent president stopped having absolute majority in the Parliament. Meanwhile the two main opposition groups, left-wing New Ecological and Social People's Union (NUPES) and far-right National Rally (RN) saw a surge in seats won. Despite that, no group won the absolute majority, resulting in a hung parliament for the first time since 1988 . [5]
