The ruling ANO party came in second by just a few tenths of a percent, but still has the most seats. Meanwhile, the Social Democrats and Communists will not have seats in the lower-house for the first time since the foundation of the Czech Republic. The question of who will be asked to form a government now lies with President Zeman. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/aeaeac73e16a74a41b9c51b2020b8587.jpg?timestamp=1634864401 Czech elections: Anti-Babiš coalitions victorious, Social Democrats and Communists out of lower-house https://english.radio.cz/czech-elections-anti-babis-coalitions-victorious-social-democrats-and-communists-8730760 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
