French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne resigned on Monday, according to media reports.

Borne met earlier with President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee presidential palace in Paris, daily Le Figaro said.

Borne submitted her resignation, according to the same source.

Macron posted a message on X thanking Borne for her "exemplary" efforts as France’s premier.

Borne was appointed prime minister in May 2022, and her departure comes in the wake of the passage of a hardline, controversial immigration bill late last year.

Recent days have seen expectations that Macron will reshuffle his Cabinet.
