The French president has urged voters to stick to the centre lashing out at “unnatural alliances at both extremes… who will not be able to implement any program.”
Mr Macron will remain president until 2027 even if his Renew party loses the vote, the second round of which will be held in July.
However, his presidency would be severely weakened if the National Rally were to take control of the government and legislative policy.
Following Mr Macron’s surprise decision to call a snap election, the country’s former Socialist president Francois Hollande announced he would run for parliament again.
