The party ran candidates in the 2017 legislative elections as La République en marche[7] (English translation: "The Republic Onwards!"[8]), including members of the Democratic Movement, as well as dissidents from the Socialist Party, The Republicans and minor parties. It won an absolute majority of seats in the National Assembly, securing 308 under its label and 42 for the MoDem.
In 2022, Macron's Ensemble coalition won the most seats, 250, in the National Assembly but also lost majority control, causing a hung parliament.[9]
