PRAGUE: The new Czech government formed by leftist allies of President Milos Zeman lost a parliamentary confidence vote on Wednesday as only 93 of the 193 lawmakers present in the lower house voted to support Prime Minister Jiri Rusnok’s government.
Afterward, several major parties agreed that early elections would be the best way forward.
Rusnok called the vote “a fair loss” and said he will step down on Thursday or Friday as the constitution requires in this case.
