French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday appointed the President of the Democratic Movement party (MoDem), Francois Bayrou, as reported by an international news agency.
Bayrou ran for president three times before rallying behind Macron in 2017. The 73-year-old is the mayor of the southwestern town of Pau as well as the founder of the centrist MoDem party.
Meanwhile, sharing a post on X, the MoDem party wrote, "Francois Bayrou, President of the MoDem, is appointed Prime Minister."
"Francois Bayrou has demonstrated his ability to unite to serve the general interest. We will work together to provide concrete answers to the French people," the post added.
Notably, the announcement by Macron follows the resignation of France Prime Minister Michel Barnier last week.
