2007 French Legislative Election
Legislative elections were held in France on 10 June and 17 June 2007 to elect the 13th National Assembly of the Fifth Republic, a few weeks after the presidential election run-off on 6 May. 7,639 candidates stood for 577 seats, including France's overseas possessions. Early first-round results projected a large majority for President Nicolas Sarkozy's Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) and its allies; however, second-round results showed a closer race and a stronger left. Nevertheless, the right retained its majority from 2002 despite losing some 40 seats to the Socialists. Taking place so shortly after the presidential poll, these elections provided the newly elected president with a legislative majority in line with his political objectives – as was the case in 2002, when presidential victor Jacques Chirac's UMP party received a large majority in the legislative elections. It is the first time since the 1978 elections that the governing coalition has been returned after ...

2024 The Republicans Alliance Crisis
The Republican alliance crisis () was triggered by the formation of the Union of the Rights for the Republic, an alliance between Éric Ciotti, the president of The Republicans (LR), and the National Rally (RN) ahead of the 2024 French legislative election. LR MPs and senators questioned claims the alliance was revolutionary. The senior members unanimously removed its president for unsanctioned negotiations and disrespect for party statutes, which was unprecedented in France. This broke the traditional '' cordon sanitaire'' led by Chirac, against the National Rally. Two opposing groups of Republican candidates were nominated. Its national investiture commission (CNI) nominated 400, including all outgoing MPs except Ciotti and Christelle d'Intorni. Ciotti nominated around 60, labeled by the French Ministry of the Interior the Union of the Far-Right, half not LR members, and petitioned RN candidates in other constituencies.
