French leftists win most seats: Pollsters

Paris, AP: A coalition on the left that came together unexpectedly ahead of France's snap elections won the most parliamentary seats in the vote, according to polling projections.

The surprise projections put President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance in second and the far right in third. The lack of majority for any single alliance plunged France into political and economic turmoil.

Final results are not expected until late Sunday or early Monday in the highly volatile snap election, which was called just four weeks ago in a huge gamble for Macron. The deeply unpopular president lost control of parliament, according to the projections.
