Czech president Miloš Zeman should name ANO leader Andrej Babiš prime minister on December 6, public broadcaster Czech Television reported on Thursday. The cabinet should be appointed on December 15, the broadcaster added.
Babiš has been trying to win support for a minority ANO party with little support so far. The communists said they could tolerate such a government. Otherwise ANO, with 78 seats in the lower house of parliament out of 200, would appear to fall way short of the majority needed to win a vote of confidence and form a stable government.
