Paris: The office of French President Emmanuel Macron announced that he has reappointed S©bastien Lecornu as Prime Minister and tasked him with forming a new government.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, Macron appointed S©bastien Lecornu as Prime Minister on September 9, 2025, succeeding Fran§ois Bayrou, after Parliament withheld confidence from his government. Lecornu had abruptly resigned last Monday, adding another layer of complexity to the already tense political climate.

His reappointment comes amid a deepening political crisis in France, pitting the coalition of left-wing parties that holds a parliamentary majority against the center-right, to which President Macron belongs. The political landscape remains contentious, as Lecornu is now tasked with navigating the divisions to form a stable government.

In a highly important meeting, Macron received the leaders of the major political parties at the €š¬…¡¬°lys©e Palace before the late-night deadline he set for the appointment of a new prime minister. This move is seen as critical in the effort to quell the political turmoil and stabilize the government.
