The French president is projected to lose his majority in the National Assembly - the most powerful branch of the country's Parliament.

According to exit polls, Macron's Centrist Alliance is facing many challenges from the coalition of the left, Telegrafi reports.

His alliance was supposed to win most of the seats, but failed in most municipalities after campaign promises he made and failed to even start them, such as taxes and raising the retirement threshold from 62 to 65 years.

Macron's alliance has been stopped by the coalition of Socialists and Greens known as the New Ecological and Social Union led by Jean-Luc Melenchon.

This means that Macron could now plunge into a series of protracted domestic policy negotiations, at a time when the war in Ukraine is in the spotlight.

French citizens stormed the polls in the early hours of this morning for the second round, the final round to decide on the 577 members of the Assembly - the lower house of parliament.

The 44-year-old president of France will need at least 289 seats to have an absolute majority.

A projection showed he is projected to win just 224 seats.

Another projection gave him from 210 to 250 seats.
