Following his party's loss of their parlimentary majority, Macron has rejected the resignation of Elisabeth Borne as Prime Minister.

Quote
French President Emmanuel Macron has rejected a resignation offer from Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne before talks with the opposition seeking to end the deadlock sparked by his failure to secure a majority in parliamentary elections.

The development came on Tuesday as Macron was due to host far-right leader Marine Le Pen and other political party chiefs for rare talks at the Elysee Palace as he seeks solutions to an unprecedented situation that risks plunging his second term into crisis two months after it began.

Was this not expected? PMs, like Philippe in 2017, tender their resignation following the legislative elections & get re-appointed if they won the elections, with a reshuffle undertaken as necessary. Had they won their majority, she would've tendered her resignation, Macron would've accepted it, & then immediately re-appointed her to head a new ministry, pursuant to the election result. Given the so far-unproduced lack of an alternative produced by the election, though, she stays for now. The question now is whether she (or somebody else under Macron) successfully pursues a permanent government, be that a minority functioning with opposition legislators on a case-by-case basis as necessary, or a coalition?
