French Prime Minister Édouard Philippe to tender resignation.

• French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said he would submit his resignation on Monday.
• His departure was widely expected in the wake of the first presidential vote.
• It seems that France is now facing a hung-parliament situation, with three dominant parties needing to form alliances to achieve a majority.

French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal announced he would resign on Monday following early poll data indicating that his and French President Emmanuel Macron's centrist Ensemble party and its allies finished in second place in the parliamentary runoff.

The New Popular Front is projected to win between 180 and 215 seats, while Ensemble and its allies are expected to secure between 150 and 180 seats, according to an IFOP estimate.

The far-right Rassemblement National — RN or National Rally, the winner of the first parliamentary vote, has been outpaced by both factions.

It seems that France is now facing a hung-parliament situation, with three dominant parties needing to form alliances to achieve a majority.

It is unlikely that Attal, who became France's youngest prime minister in January, will hold the country's second-highest position in the upcoming administration.

Attal, a Republican, announced on Sunday that he would submit his resignation to the president of the Republic in accordance with his principles and tradition.

The French people are uncertain about the future due to the lack of an absolute majority in parliament after the results of this evening. Attal stated that our country is currently facing an unprecedented political situation.

The possibility of Macron conceding the prime minister's office to RN leader Jordan Bardella was widely expected after the first presidential vote, when analysts circulated the possibility that the far right would retain its advance.
