French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne has resigned, the French presidency said on Monday, January 8, 2024.

Her resignation comes with President Emmanuel Macron widely expected to reshuffle his top team ahead of European elections due later this year.

Macron did not immediately name her successor.

The French President and his government have struggled to deal with more turbulent lawmakers to pass laws since losing their absolute majority in parliament shortly after Macron was reelected for a second mandate in 2022.

The change in prime minister comes after a year marred by political crises triggered by contested reforms of the pension system and immigration laws.
