This statistics provides a comparison between 2012 and 2017 of the distribution of seats in the French legislature following legislative elections. In the 2017 election, Emmanuel Macron's party En Marche won 350 seats in the legislature in their first election. The Front National, the party of Macron's final round Presidential election opponent Marine le Pen, increased their number of seats from 2 in 2012 to 8 in 2017.
Distribution of seats in the legislature of France following the 2012 and 2017 elections, by political party or block
Unlike the UMP changing their name to the Republicans in 2015, the Front de Gauche and La France Insoumise are groups of parties from the political left. As such, this difference is not a name change of a party but a comparable yet distinct reformulation of political alliances.
