The pan-European elections to the European Parliament lasted from June 6 to June 9. The new convocation of the European Parliament will begin its work on July 16.
The European People’s Party (EPP), according to preliminary exit polls, won the European Parliament elections, the last day of which is Sunday, June 9. According to forecasts, the pro-Ukrainian European People’s Party will have the tenth largest faction meeting of the European Parliament. This was stated in the forecast of the European Parliament on Sunday, June 9.
Thus, according to preliminary results, the EPP receives approximately 180 of the 720 seats in the new convocation of the European Parliament.
The second largest faction is expected to remain the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, which could win around 135 seats.
They are followed by the organization of liberals “Renewing Europe”, which can count on a group in the parliament of 81 to 87 representatives.
The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) could get 80 seats, and the right-wing nationalist Identity and Democracy association could get 70 seats. So, together these two groups on the right receive 150 commands.
At the same time, the Greens/European Free Alliance alliance is expected to lose representation in the EP and gain fewer than 60 seats.
Ursula von der Leyen is the EPP’s candidate for the post of head of the European Commission.
