What happened in the 1968 French legislative election after the protests?

Following the widespread civil unrest and strikes of May 1968, President Charles de Gaulle dissolved the National Assembly and called for new legislative elections to be held on June 23 and 30, 1968.12

De Gaulle successfully framed the election as a choice between his leadership and the threat of anarchy or Communist rule, which helped rally nervous citizens and loyalists to his cause. The resulting election was a landslide victory for the Gaullists. The Union of Democrats for the Republic (UDR), along with its allies, secured three-fourths of the seats in the assembly.123

In the aftermath of the crisis, the government implemented several reforms, including wage increases and improved working conditions for laborers, as well as a university reform bill intended to modernize higher education. Additionally, de Gaulle reorganized his cabinet, replacing Prime Minister Georges Pompidou with Maurice Couve de Murville.13
