European Parliament Elections: the seat projection of the 2019 European election produced with the estimates released by the European Parliament and its contractor Kantar on May 27 at 03:00 GMT. ANIMATED GRAPHICS
The first projection of the composition of the EU Parliament shows a majority for the mainstream conservative EPP group with 173 seats, followed by the Socialists and Democrats with 147 seats. Turnout EU-wide was estimated at 51 percent, the highest in 20 years, implying that more than 200 million citizens across the 28-nation bloc voted in a poll billed as a battle between populists and pro-European forces.

The latest projections for the future distribution of seats in the European Parliament are presented in Brussels, following the EU elections on 9 June. More than 360 million people across the EU's 27 nations were eligible to vote, over four days since Thursday, to help shape the European Union's direction over the next five years. IMAGES
