French voters have denied the re-elected President Emmanuel Macron an absolute majority.

The result announced in the early hours of Monday.

According to the result, Marcon secured 245 out of a total 577, however, it still fell short of the 289-seat threshold for an absolute majority in the National Assembly, France's lower house.

After the new result, Macron became the first sitting French president to not win a parliamentary majority since a 2000 electoral reform.

According to the publication, it is expected to try and form alliances with other political parties, including the traditional rights, which came forth on Sunday.
