Zeman names Sobotka PM 83 days after elections

President Miloš Zeman on Friday appointed Bohuslav Sobotka of the Social Democrats prime minister. The move came 83 days after October’s elections to the lower house, the longest gap between a vote and the appointment of a prime minister since the foundation of the Czech Republic. The country now has two prime ministers, with an interim cabinet installed by Mr. Zeman and headed by Jiří Rusnok set to continue running the country until an elected government is appointed.
