Ousted PM Francois Bayrou will submit his resignation to President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday, 09 September morning. Bayrou had called the surprise vote of confidence after huge opposition to his budget plans.
President Emmanuel Macron faces a choice between calling a snap election or picking a fifth prime minister in less than two years.
