France faces a hung parliament and difficult negotiations to form a government, after the New Popular Front (NFP) says it wants to put forward a candidate for the prime ministership by the end of the week.

Earlier, President of the national rally party, Marine Le Pen had made attempts to inspire confidence in their supporters, insisting that the party will continue to stand for a secured and united France.

 

 

Meanwhile, journalist and political analyst, `Pierre Haski says President Macron may not resign as predicted by some political players, as absolute power still rests on his shoulders.
