French President Emmanuel Macron has named Michel Barnier as prime minister almost two months after Frances snap elections ended in political deadlock.
Mr Barnier, 73, is the EUs former chief Brexit negotiator and led talks with the UK government between 2016 and 2019.
A veteran of the right-wing Republicans (LR) party, he has had a long political career and filled various senior posts, both in France and within the EU.
He will now have to form a government that will need to survive a National Assembly divided into three big political blocs, with none able to form a clear majority.
Three years ago Mr Barnier said he wanted to take on President Macron for the French presidency, saying he wanted to limit and take control of immigration. He eventually failed to be the selected as a candidate by his party.
Mr Barnier will be Frances oldest prime minister since the Fifth Republic came into being in 1958.
He is set to succeed Gabriel Attal, Frances youngest ever prime minister, who President Macron first appointed prime minister in early 2024 and who has stayed in post as caretaker since July.
