New Prague government formed months after elections

Prague representatives of the Together coalition, the Pirate Party and the Mayors and Independents, signed a coalition deal on Wednesday, nearly five months after local elections were held in the city.

Together – comprising the Civic Democrats, TOP 09 and the Christian Democrats – will hold five seats in the new administration. The Pirates will have four seats and the Mayors and Independents two.

The new leadership will be appointed at a council meeting on Thursday. The Civic Democrats’ Bohuslav Svoboda, who is 79, is set to become Prague’s mayor.
