France's left continues to search for a candidate for the prime minister position. According to a survey, 27% prefer Raphaël Glucksmann, followed by François Ruffin and Olivier Faure.

Despite their surprising win in the early elections, the left-green alliance is struggling to find a leader to propose as prime minister. President Macron has the freedom to appoint a candidate, but they must have the support of a parliamentary majority.

Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and his government will remain in office until the end of the Olympic Summer Games. The parliamentary elections resulted in three political blocs: the left alliance, the government coalition, and the right-wing populists of Rassemblement National.

The newly elected National Assembly will hold its inaugural session on Thursday, where the election of the influential parliament speaker will take place. However, the factions may not align with the pre-election alliances.

With no clear majority or coalition in sight, Macron called for the snap elections following the victory of Rassemblement National in the European elections. France's left alliance has agreed on André Chassaigne as their candidate for the presidency of parliament, who will compete against the incumbent president and an independent centrist candidate.

The National Assembly session will mark the beginning of a new legislative period.
