Macron to talk with opposition parties after he loses absolute majority
00:53

French President Emmanuel Macron will hold talks with representatives of main political parties to find a way forward after his coalition failed to win an absolute majority in parliamentary elections. An official said representatives of the parties will be received at the Elysee separately and successively. A newly-formed coalition of left, far-left and green parties came second, with Marine Le Pen's far-right party in third. Upon the final results, a hung parliament is expected, requiring power-sharing and compromises among parties.
