TIRALLE - In this election night, we have a breaking news: Henri Des Ambrois, the Prime Minister since 5731 and a key figure of the PLS, has resigned from the office of President of the Government, his office confirmed a few minutes ago. The annoucement comes as the count of the vote, now at 95%, shows Des Ambrois' party falling in second position at 15% of the vote and losing several points compared to three years ago. 

President Aimard-Bélanger will accept the PM's resignation and will task Paul-Henri Doumerc, of the winning UFR, to form a Government in her name within five months. The current Vice-President of the Government, Thomas Boquet (PNP), will be the interim PM until a new Government is voted in. At this stage, the future of Mr. Des Ambrois is unclear: while he has been re-elected to the National Assembly, sources close to him say he does not intend to play a major role in the next government, opening the road for PLS's Deputy General-Secretary Olivier Brassard to seek an appointment as Vice-President of the Government.
