French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu submitted his resignation to Emmanuel Macron on October 6, less than 24 hours after announcing his government. Appointed 27 days ago, he becomes the shortest-serving head of government in the Fifth Republic. Macron has tasked him with final negotiations until Wednesday evening to define a platform for stability.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is scheduled to hold a press conference on January 19, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., where she is likely to announce her intention to dissolve the House of Representatives. The dissolution is expected at the start of the regular Diet session on January 23, prompting ruling and opposition parties to intensify preparations for a general election.
