French President Emmanuel Macron is still in consultations to choose the next prime minister of the country, almost two months after the election. The country has been led by a caretaker administration since the July election, with no group winning a majority. The leftwing New Popular Front (NFP) has put forward Lucie Castets for the position, but Macron has ruled her out. Macron is now considering other options, including Xavier Bertrand and Bernard Cazeneuve. Bertrand, the head of the northern Hauts-de-France region and a former minister, and Cazeneuve, who served as prime minister under François Hollande, are among the potential candidates. Macron is holding phone consultations with various political groupings to discuss the decision. The speculation about the next prime minister is intensifying as Macron continues his consultations. The country is eager for a new leader to be appointed after the lengthy process following the election.
