Nearly two months after the July election, France still lacks a new prime minister. Emmanuel Macron is consulting with political groups amid growing speculation about his choice.
The leftwing New Popular Front (NFP) gained 182 seats, yet Macron's Ensemble group received only 168, leaving the nation without a majority.
Macron has ruled out Lucie Castets for the prime minister role, even as the NFP puts forth her candidacy, indicating a significant political challenge.
Current consultations involve potential candidates like Xavier Bertrand and Bernard Cazeneuve, with Macron exploring options among various political groupings to stabilize governance.
