The official EU chart shows the new balance of power, based on the estimates so far for the final result of the 2024 European elections.

The European People’s Party maintains its dominance and increases it by 5 seats to 181.

The Socialists are ranked second, but with a loss of 4 seats, while Renew Europe, which includes French President Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance, recorded the biggest retreat, losing 20 seats compared to 2019.

Conversely, the big winner of the election night in Europe is the right-wing political group ID (Marine Le Pen et al), which won 13 seats.

Similarly, the European Conservatives and Reformists are now also strengthened, which brings the total number of seats for the pure hard right groups to 133 (ESM 71 + ID 62).
