PARIS, Sept 27 (Reuters) - French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said the government had chosen the person who would lead state-power group EDF and that a nomination was "imminent".

Le Maire also told France Inter radio that there was no reason why the top job at EDF could not be split into separate chief executive and a chairman roles. (Reporting by Dominique Vidalon; Editing by Sudip Kar-Gupta)
