France is headed for a government reshuffle after President Emmanuel Macron’s party lost its absolute majority in parliamentary elections, with three out of 15 ministers losing their seats. The president of the National Assembly and the head of the LREM parliamentary group were also casualties after Sunday’s vote, which saw France’s political landscape turned upside down.
The reshuffle will take place "in the next few days”, said government spokesperson Olivia Gregoire, adding the election results had left the executive with “an urgency to act”.
