US EditionFormer French PM Philippe Says in Favour of Early Presidential Election Amid Political Crisis
Former Prime Minister Philippe joins opposition leaders in urging early presidential elections to address political deadlock after Prime Minister Lecornu's resignation deepened instability, analysts say.
- Edouard Philippe said in an RTL interview he favoured new presidential elections following Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu's resignation on 07/10/2025.
- President Emmanuel Macron met Sébastien Lecornu and gave him until late Wednesday to produce a plan for `the stability of the country` after Lecornu resigned less than a month in office.
- Jordan Bardella, leader of the National Rally, backed parliament dissolution followed by parliamentary or early presidential elections, while conservative leader Bruno Retailleau did not rule out a cohabitation government.
- Macron has resisted calling early elections after his snap-poll gamble backfired, and a presidential official said he will "assume his responsibilities" if Sébastien Lecornu fails over the next two days.
- Le Pen said such elections are `absolutely essential`, but Celia Belin warned `it is uncertain whether new elections would produce a different result than the one from last July`, making outcomes unpredictable.
