France's Prime Minister Michel Barnier is expected to tender his resignation on Thursday, hours after being ousted in a no-confidence vote.
Barnier's government collapsed after MPs voted overwhelmingly in support of the motion against him, just three months after he was appointed by President Emmanuel Macron, BBC reported.
He is likely to stay on as caretaker while Macron chooses a successor, a process which could take weeks.
Last night's vote was the first time a French government had been voted down by parliament in more than 60 years.
Marine Le Pen's far right and the left-wing New Popular Front both united to censure Barnier's government after the former Brexit negotiator controversially used special powers to force through his budget without a vote.
A total of 331 voted in support of the motion, far more than the 288 required for it to pass.
Barnier is now obliged to present the resignation of his government, while the budget which triggered his downfall was automatically withdrawn.
Macron, who has returned to France following a state visit to Saudi Arabia, is due to give a televised speech to the nation on Thursday evening.
