The election's biggest loser, however, was the Socialist Party of Macron's predecessor as president, Francois Hollande.
The Republicans and their allies fared better, but with just shy of 22 percent of the vote, they were a distant second to Macron's.
Its leader Jean-Christophe Cambadelis as well as its candidate for the presidential election earlier this year, Benoit Hamon, were eliminated in the first round.
French voters are choosing lawmakers in the lower house of parliament on Sunday in a vote that is crucial for newly-elected president Emmanuel Macron.
From five to 12 seats will be claimed by other candidates.
The near-final first-round tally pointed to a legislative majority so crushing that Mr Macron's rivals fretted that the 39-year-old president will be able to govern France nearly unopposed for his full five-year term.
Former French presidential candidate for the far-left party "La France Insoumise" (France Unbowed), Jean-Luc Melenchon speaks with journalists after the first round of the French legislative elections in the 4th district of Marseille, France, 11 June 2017.
According to the latest polls, Macron's movement appears in a position to win potentially as many as 400 seats.
Official final results showed his year-old REM and allies MoDem winning 32.32 percent, ahead of the right-wing Republicans and its allies on 21.56 percent and the far-right National Front (FN) of Marine Le Pen on 13.20 percent.
The "tornado" he referred to was that of Macron's victory in the general election, in which some Socialist ministers abandoned their own party and supported instead the newfound party of the outsider candidate, himself a onetime Socialist minister.

"The message of the French people is without ambiguity", prime minister Edouard Philippe said on Sunday evening.
"France is back. Since a month now the President of the Republic has been a symbol of confidence, willpower and audacity", Philippe said, adding: "Next Sunday, the National Assembly will embody the new face of our Republic".
French polling agencies are projecting that President Emmanuel Macron's new centrist party crushed traditional rivals in the first round of parliamentary elections likely to drastically reshape French politics.
Nevertheless, voter turnout has hit a historic low with abstention in the first round reaching 51.6 percent, according to French Interior Ministry data.
FN vice-president Florian Philippot admitted to "disappointment" and called on voters to "mobilise massively" for the June 18 second round.
Few MPs are expected to be elected in the first round of voting.
The scale of the potential landslide demonstrates the extent to which Macron, a newcomer to party politics, has managed to transform the French political landscape in record time.
Meanwhile, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has congratulated Macron over the "great success" of his party after projections showed his win.
The president needs a strong majority in order to push through his promised reforms of France's strict labor laws, and its ailing social security system.
