Prime Minister François Bayrou will submit his resignation to President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday morning following a failed confidence vote in the National Assembly.
The French National Assembly on Monday held a confidence vote on Prime Minister François Bayrou’s government, which resulted in a clear loss for the premier. France's National Assembly has voted by 364 votes to 194 to eject him from office and bring down his minority government. Another 25 MPs abstained.
As a result, Bayrou will be required to step down, marking the end of his tenure less than a year after taking office.
The confidence motion was brought forward amid growing tensions and legislative deadlock that have plagued the government in recent weeks. Following the vote, Bayrou was officially ousted and is now expected to tender his resignation to President Macron at the Élysée Palace on Tuesday morning.
