Parliamentary election in France 2007

In the elections, 7,639 candidates ran for 577 seats. After the first round of elections on June 19, 2007, a large majority for the UMP presidential party was predicted by Nicolas Sarkozy and parties that support it. In the second round of the election, however, the race became tighter in the election results and the left-wing parties gained ground. Nevertheless, the coalition of the ruling parties under Nicolas Sarkozy achieved a majority. The National Assembly elections took place shortly after the 2007 French presidential election.
