President Petr Pavel tapped ANO’s Andrej Babiš to start coalition talks, setting up negotiations with right-wing partners toward a working parliamentary majority.
Czech President Petr Pavel invited ANO leader Andrej Babiš to begin negotiations on forming a government after ANO’s parliamentary victory. A prospective coalition with the far-right SPD and the Motorists party could command a majority in the 200-seat Chamber of Deputies. The talks come amid debate over fiscal policy, EU relations and support for Ukraine. Babiš must present a coalition program and list of ministers before formal nomination as prime minister. Parliament convenes November 3 to elect a new speaker, a procedural step before government formation.
