France’s new Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu resigned after less than a month in office and less than 24 hours after naming a new government that prompted a key coalition ally to withdraw support.

Lecornu is now the shortest-serving prime minister in the history of the Fifth Republic. French politics have been in disarray since 2024 snap elections.
