PARIS — French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has announced his plans to resign, stating he will submit his resignation to President Emmanuel Macron on July 8. This decision follows the preliminary results of the early legislative elections in France.

According to Burkina Information Agency, his decision aligns with democratic traditions, emphasizing his readiness to continue leading the government as needed during this transitional period. “In accordance with democratic tradition, I will submit a letter of resignation to the President of the Republic on the morning of July 8,” Attal declared. He further commented on the current political landscape, highlighting the challenges posed by the upcoming Paris Olympic Games and the expected influx of visitors. “The political situation in our country is unprecedented as the Republic will welcome a large number of people in a few weeks,” he explained.

The early election results indicate a fragmented political scene, with the New Popular Ecologic and Social Union securing between 175 and 205 seats, while President Macron’s Ensemble pour la République coalition is projected to win between 150 and 175 seats. The right-wing National Rally party also showed significant gains, expecting to secure between 115 to 150 seats in the National Assembly.
