Jean-Pierre Raffarin served as the Prime Minister of France from May 6, 2002 to May 31, 2005, resigning after France's rejection of the referendum on the European Union draft constitution. However, after Mr Raffarin resigned, he said his decision was not based on the outcome of the vote. Opinion polls following his resignation suggested that Mr Raffarin was one of France's most unpopular prime ministers since the Fifth Republic was set up in 1958.
