Macron reappoints Lecornu as French PM, fours days after his resignation | BBC News

President Emmanuel Macron has asked Sébastien Lecornu to return as French prime minister only four days after he stood down from the post.

Macron made the announcement late on Friday, hours after meeting all the main parties together at the Élysée Palace, except the leaders of the far right and far left.

Lecornu's return came as a surprise, as he said on national TV only two days ago he was not "chasing the job" and his "mission is over".
