Reaction has continued to pour in thick and fast following the results of the French legislative election, which has left the country in a political deadlock.

It’s so far unclear how exactly politicians will resolve the stalemate, but here’s a recap of how things developed today:

1. Though the left-wing alliance New Popular Front (NFP) won the most seats, no party has won an outright majority.
2. The party central to the NFP, France Unbowed, says work to form a government is progressing well and claims the right to nominate the new prime minister.
3. President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party members have ruled out any power-sharing with the left alliance or the far-right National Rally and say it will take weeks to form a coalition without them.
4. Any announcement of who will become France’s prime minister will likely be days or weeks away. For the time being, Gabriel Attal has been asked by Macron to remain in the post after Attal offered his resignation.
5. Macron is yet to comment on the results – he is analyzing them and waiting for the full picture to emerge, the French Presidency says.
6. The National Rally’s Marine Le Pen has thanked voters and said her party’s short-term victory was “inevitable.”
7. The far-right party also pledged to look into elected candidates who have been accused of Holocaust denial and support for Vladimir Putin, as it joins an alliance in the European Parliament set up by Hungary’s Viktor Orbán.
8. Several of France’s allies welcomed the results – US President Joe Biden said the country has rejected extremism, while Germany’s Olaf Scholz expressed relief at the far-right’s relegation.
