The third largest group is the ALDE group plus France's Renaissance with 108 seats.
The group of Greens and European Free Alliance came in the fourth place with 67 seats.
The European Conservatives and Reformists group is the fifth-largest with 61 seats. European Parliament announced that EU-wide turnout has risen over 50 percent, the highest in 20 years and the first significant increase in turnout since 1979.
