Bayrou has downsized the new government to 14 full ministries. Valls will head the Ministry of Overseas Territories, while Borne will lead the Ministry of National Education, Higher Education and Research.

Three ministers from the previous administration led by Michel Barnier will retain their positions, including Bruno Retailleau as interior minister, Sebastian Lecornu as minister of armed forces, and Jean-Noel Barrot as minister of Europe and foreign affairs.
