Exit polls reveal a historic victory for Marine Le Pen’s National Rally in France, poised to decisively surpass President Macron’s party. Additionally, far-right parties have made significant advances in Austria and Germany, according to exit polls. The first projection of the new European Parliament is expected around 19:30 BST, marking the culmination of the extensive four-day, 27-country European election. Approximately 360 million eligible voters are electing 720 new Members of the European Parliament (MEPs). Notably, 2019 has seen the highest turnout in 15 years, with just over 50% of eligible voters participating.
