Elisabeth Borne was never elected.

The new Prime Minister has however been invested in recent days by the presidential majority in the sixth constituency of Calvados.

His entourage confirmed this candidacy for the legislative elections on Monday evening.

This territory had placed Emmanuel Macron clearly in the lead in the two rounds of the presidential election, suggesting success for the new Prime Minister.

But, otherwise, his future at Matignon would seem compromised.

A "woman of commitment"

“Elisabeth Borne is a woman of commitment.

She is and will remain a candidate in the legislative elections.

It is all the difference with those who say "elect me" in an election where they are not a candidate, "reacted the general delegate of La République en Marche Stanislas Guérini.

The new Prime Minister has many projects ahead of her and first of all to choose her government.

"In the coming days", the new tenant of Matignon must select a new "tightened" government team.

The appointment of possible Secretaries of State is expected at a later stage, probably after the legislative elections.
