Following the fourth and final round of voting on Sunday for the selection of representatives to the European Parliament, it is expected that center-right parties will, as in the past, secure the highest number of seats in Parliament. Predictions indicate that out of 732 seats in the European Parliament, center-right parties will obtain at least 247 seats. Socialists will rank second in terms of the number of parliamentary seats, while Liberal Democrats will come in third. In all 25 member countries of the European Union, the voter turnout was not high, with estimates indicating it was less than 45%, a record low in the history of European Parliament elections. On the other hand, opposition parties in France, Germany, and Italy achieved significant victories. In the UK, the ruling Labour Party secured half of the votes, while the other half went to the Conservatives.
