PARIS (Reuters) -French caretaker Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said on Wednesday that President Emmanuel Macron could be in a position to nominate a new Prime minister in the next 48 hours, adding that the prospect of snap parliamentary elections was receding.

"I told the President of the Republic that the prospects of dissolution were receding and that I believe the situation allows for the president to name a Prime minister in the next 48 hours," Lecornu told France 2.
