French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday reappointed Edouard Philippe as prime minister after the weekend's legislative run-off vote and asked him to form the next government, sources at Macron's office said.

Sunday's vote saw Macron's centrist group, the Republic on the Move (REM), score a historic landslide, winning an overall majority in the National Assembly. Philippe has been asked to unveil the new government by Wednesday 1600 GMT, the sources said.
