French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday appointed centrist ally François Bayrou as the new prime minister.
The election followed a historic parliamentary vote that saw the transition from the previous government.
The announcement of Bayrou’s appointment followed nearly two hours of tense discussions between Macron and Bayrou on Friday, according to BFMTV.
Bayrou, 73, a key figure in Macron’s centrist political alliance, brings decades of experience to the role.
His deep political background is seen as vital for navigating the current challenges, particularly given that no single party holds a majority in the French National Assembly.
Bayrou, who was recently cleared of charges related to embezzlement of European Parliament funds, is expected to play a pivotal role in restoring political stability in the country.
Despite the political upheaval, Macron reaffirmed his commitment to remaining in office until his term concludes in 2027.
