  • Summary

    In many democratic countries, talented individuals run for the nation’s top elected office under the banner of newly formed parties. Once in a while, these individuals manage to win. In France, for example, a new party called En Marche! was formed on April 6, 2016. The party’s full name, “La République En Marche!” roughly translates as “The Republic on the Move!” This party backed Emmanuel Macron for the French presidency in 2017. Macron received 24 percent of the vote in the first round of the French presidential election on April 23, placing first out of five candidates. A second-round runoff with the top two candidates was then held, and Macron was elected President with 66.1 percent of the vote. In the legislative elections of June 2017, En Marche! also won a majority of the seats in the National Assembly, the French parliament.
