After the first round of snap elections in France, Marine Le Pen's party is holding a commanding lead.
France's far right National Rally party was seen leading the first round of parliamentary elections with around 33% of votes, according to exit polls.
Pollsters IFOP, Ipsos, OpinionWay and Elabe found the left wing New Popular Front coalition was seen coming in second with around 28.5%, reported Sky News.
"For the moment nothing is won, and the second round will determine the outcome," Marine Le Pen tells crowds.
She also warns people to "be careful" in the coming days, and urged them to "mobilise" on the 7 July.
"We need an absolute majority so that Jordan Bardella can be nominated prime minister by Emmanuel Macron in eight days," she adds.
"The French have almost wiped out the Macronist bloc."
"The lesson we can learn tonight is that the extreme right is at the gates of power. Never in our democracy has the situation been so dominated by the extreme right," declared the French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.
