European Commission chief spokesperson Margaritis Schinas said on social media that Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the commission, also congratulated Macron on the results and "wished him good luck for the future."
Right-wing conservative candidate and former prime minister Francois Fillon conceded defeat Sunday night, and vowed to vote for Macron in the runoff on May 7.
"The defeat is mine. Do not scatter, stay united," Fillon told his supporters in a gathering after the vote.
Socialist candidate Benoit Hamon, in the fifth place, also announced that he would endorse Macron for the runoff vote.
According to the updated estimation, Fillon ends up in the third place with 19.9 percent of votes, while far-leftist Jean-Luc Melenchon ranks fourth with 19.3 percent.
"Once the official results are known, we will respect it," said Melenchen, who has not yet conceded defeat.
