PARIS, June 11 (Xinhua) -- President Emmanuel Macron's party "The Republic On The Move" (LREM) and its ally MoDem took the lead in the first round of French legislative election on Sunday.
LREM and its ally led the vote with 32.2 percent, ahead of the conservative and centrist allies who won 21.5% percent of the vote, according to projections of Ipsos.
