The French president is expected to appoint another prime minister - the fifth in less than two years.

But the centrist leader found himself facing growing opposition after he unveiled plans to reduce the fiscal deficit to 4.6% of GDP next year to secure a savings of $51 billion through a series of spending cuts, tax hikes and the dissolving of two public holidays. 

It's unclear if Bayrou will resign Monday night or when Macron publicly addresses the vote.
