On 4 July 2022,Emmanuel Macron carried out the first reshuffle of his minority government,led by Prime minister Élisabeth Borne,since the start of his second presidential term. As it is customary that the Prime minister offers the resignation of their government after a legislative election under the Fifth Republic,a cabinet reshuffle was anticipated. However,the unexpected outcome of the June 2022 legislative election that saw President Macron's centrist coalition losing its majority in Parliament changed the dynamics and nature of the reshuffle:falling 38 seats short of an overall majority in the National Assembly and with 3 ministers having lost their seats,the cabinet had to undergo broader changes than expected.
