LYON, France — French President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party has chosen a new leader, as the 19-month-old movement tries to overcome divisions and solidify its position after redrawing France’s political landscape. Christophe Castaner, a government spokesman and Macron loyalist, was chosen Saturday as the Republic on the Move! party’s leader for the next three years. He ran unopposed in a vote at the first meeting of the party’s governing council in Lyon. Its support has since waned but it remains the country’s leading political force.
