France's new government will not be announced before 1700 GMT Monday evening as the nation observes a day of mourning for the victims of the disaster in the cyclone-hit archipelago of Mayotte, the Elysee said.

President Emmanuel Macron will observe a minute's silence at 1000 GMT. 

Prime Minister Francois Bayrou, who was appointed on December 13, aims to finalize the new government lineup by Christmas.
