France's prime minister was poised on Saturday to take the leadership of his party's National Assembly lawmakers as politicians from all sides jockeyed for position to form the next government. Gabriel Attal is the only candidate in a vote scheduled Saturday by the Renaissance party parliamentary group, which he plans to use as the base from which to rebuild the political force that got roundly beaten in a snap election called by President Emmanuel Macron. As Attal and other ministers eye a future outside government, deep cracks have appeared between the 35-year-old premier and his former mentor Macron. Macron did not get any mention in Attal's message to Renaissance deputies outlining his leadership bid, with observers saying that the prime minister blames the president for calling the vote, which he said took the party to the brink of "extinction". With Sunday's election runoff leaving the National Assembly without any overall majority, but a broad alliance -- called New Popular Front (NFP), FRANCE 24's Gavin Lee, Nadia Massih and Marc Perelman are joined by Pierre-Jérôme Henin, CEO and founder of Media9, and Lecturer / Trainer at the National Institute of Public Service (INSP / ex National School of Administration (ENA).
