- French Prime Minister François Bayrou was ousted on September 8, 2025, after losing a parliamentary confidence vote just nine months into office.
- The vote saw 364 deputies opposing and 194 supporting the government, forcing Bayrou to submit his resignation under Article 50 of the French Constitution.
- Bayrou became the first modern French prime minister removed by a confidence vote, not a no-confidence vote, over a controversial €44 billion austerity budget.
- Bayrou’s exit marks the fifth change in prime minister since 2022 and sixth overall under Macron’s presidency, which began in 2017.
