Ally of the presidential majority, Horizons, the party of Edouard Philippe, has obtained 58 candidates for the June legislative elections while the MoDem of François Bayrou will have between 101 and 110, AFP learned Thursday from sources within the two movements.
Of the 577 seats to be filled in the National Assembly, LREM should for its part present around 400 candidates, at the end of an executive office at midday.
A confederation of pro-Macron parties
The majority will organize themselves for these legislative elections into a confederation of pro-Macron parties around these three groups in the Assembly.
They will leave under a common banner for the elections on June 12 and 19.
A press conference was scheduled for Thursday afternoon at the headquarters of La République en Marche in Paris to present the outlines, while the first investitures were also scheduled for the same day.
Since the re-election of Emmanuel Macron, the question of investitures in the legislative elections has caused much turbulence in the majority, whose various chapels compete in appetite, starting with the troops of the former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe whose relations with Emmanuel Macron are degraded.
