Paris | Marine Le Pen’s National Rally was on track to dominate the first round of France’s legislative election, dealing a major blow to President Emmanuel Macron and setting the stage for a far-right party to control the country’s government for the first time in its modern history.

The National Rally was projected to get between 33 per cent and 34.2 per cent of the vote, according to initial projections from four polling companies on Sunday (Monday AEST). The left-wing New Popular Front coalition was set to get between 28.5 per cent and 29.6 per cent and Mr Macron’s centrist alliance between 21.5 per cent and 22.4 per cent.
