Macron expected to name new French PM

Macron had promised to name a replacement government chief within 48 hours of meeting party leaders Tuesday, participants said. But he remains confronted with the complex political equation that emerged from July's snap parliamentary poll: how to secure a government against a no-confidence vote in a bitterly divided lower house where no party or alliance has a majority. Hope for movement increased when Macron's office said he would "shorten" a trip to Poland trip and return to Paris "in the early evening".
