French Prime Minister Valls Says,” I will leave my post tomorrow”

According  to reports reaching us, Manuel Valls announced on Monday he’d run for president at the 2017 elections and designed to leave the present post on Tuesday.  French Prime Minister Manuel Valls announced on Monday he’d run for president at the 2017 elections and intended to leave the present post on Tuesday.

“Yes, I am a candidate for president of the republic. … I will leave my post tomorrow,” Valls said as quoted by the BFMTV TV channel. On December 1, unpopular French Socialist President Francois Hollande announced he would not seek reelection, which Valls called “a choice of a statesman” and added that “the dignity of this decision commands respect.” Hollande’s former economy minister Emmanuel Macron and Left Party founder Jean-Luc Melenchon refused to run in the Socialist primaries, clearing the way for Valls. The French presidential elections will take place in April and May 2017.
