French Socialist Prime Minister Lionel Jospin has presented his resignation to re-elected conservative President Jacques Chirac, officials said Monday.

On April 21, when defeated in the first round of presidential election, Jospin announced that he will quit political life definitively once the presidential race ends.

Chirac won Sunday's run-off with 82 percent of votes against far-rightist Jean-Marie Le Pen.
