The La République En Marche group (French: groupe La République en marche) is a parliamentary group in the National Assembly including representatives of La République En Marche! after the 2017 legislative elections.
History
On 24 June 2017, Richard Ferrand was elected president of the group with 306 votes and two abstentions.[1] On 27 June, the group voted to designate François de Rugy its candidate for the president of the National Assembly, to be elected later that day; with a total of 301 votes cast, he collected 153 against 59 for Sophie Errante, 54 for Brigitte Bourguignon, 32 for Philippe Folliot, 2 blank votes, and 1 null vote. Pacôme Rupin, Coralie Dubost, Danièle Hérin, and Gilles Le Gendre were selected as the group's vice presidents; Aurore Bergé, Stanislas Guerini, Olivia Grégoire, and Hervé Berville as spokespersons; and Guillaume Gouffier-Cha and Stéphanie Do as treasurers. De Rugy was elected president of the National Assembly the same day, and former Prime Minister Manuel Valls also announced his intention to leave the Socialist Party and seek to affiliate with the REM parliamentary group.[2]
At the time of its formation on 27 June, the REM parliamentary group included 313 deputies, including 4 associated members.[3] Manuel Valls later joined the group as an associated member.[4] On 5 September, M’jid El Guerrab quit the group and party after his assault of Socialist Boris Faure.[5]
