French Prime Minister, Michel Barnier has been ousted after the parliament voted in support of a motion of no confidence.
The members of parliament voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday night in support of the motion against Barnier by 331 votes out of a total of 577.
The move marks the first time France’s government has collapsed in a no-confidence vote since 1962 and also makes Barnier the shortest serving prime minister in French history .
Barnie’s leadership was called into question after “he used special powers to push through his budget without a vote.”
Marine Le Pen of the far-right National Rally and Éric Coquerel of the radical left accused the prime minister of failing to listen to their budget concerns.
His removal came three months after he was appointed in September as prime minister by President Emmanuel Macron.
Macron had tasked him with forming a unifying government to serve the country and the French people.
