Édouard Philippe (born 28 November 1970) is a French lawyer and politician, serving as the Prime Minister of France since 15 May 2017.
A member of the Union for a Popular Movement, later the Republicans, he has served as a member of the National Assembly representing the 7th constituency of Seine-Maritime since 2012, as well as mayor of Le Havre and president of the agglomeration community of Le Havre since 2010.
On 15 May 2017, President Emmanuel Macron appointed him Prime Minister; Philippe subsequently named his government on 17 May.
Édouard Philippe, the son of French teachers, was born in Rouen in 1970 and grew up in a left-wing household. He obtained his baccalauréat in Bonn, and after a year in hypokhâgne, he studied at Sciences Po for three years and graduated in 1992, and later studied at the École nationale d'administration from 1995 to 1997 (the "Marc Bloch cohort").
In his years at Sciences Po, he supported Michel Rocard and was influenced by him, identifying with the Rocardian and social democratic wings of the Socialist Party. His brief flirtation with the Socialists ended after Rocard was toppled from the leadership of the Socialist Party. After leaving the ENA in 1997, he went on to work at the Council of State, specializing in public procurement law.
