11 June 2017: Macron poised to win French Parliamentary elections
Just a year ago, Emmanuel Macron’s party En Marche! (“On the Move!”) had no representation in the French Parliament. It was later projected that it would take anywhere from 390 to 430 seats out of the possible 577 in the French Parliament. Following the landslide victory on Sunday, Macron’s party advances through to the next round of voting to be held on 18 June. A win means that Macron's Party gains the majority and the control of France will be held in both branches by the same Party.
