I will have to look up (not today). One thing is certain: it is the right of the President to choose a PM candidate who shall attempt to put together a coalition, and there has been pre-election dispute over whether he should 'dare' to break 'tradition' and choose Pahuk in case SDS wins most votes ahead of SD - a dilemma that is no more, so it'll be Pahuk's turn.

I note we are at 99.88% counted, so I don't expect the seat distribution to change:

Minorities: 2

SD: 29
Zares: 9
LDS: 5
(left block: 43)

SLS+SMS: 5
DeSUS: 7
SDS: 28
(government block: 40)

SNS: 5

Just checked: the 2004-8 government majority was 49(+2), but Janša's government was laos approved by the 6 votes of SNS... so things could get interesting, like in the Czech Republic.

I also note that based on past coalitions, DeSUS (the pensioners' party) may swing to the left -- however, while writing the diary, I found an article about that party's leader declaring Pahuk unfit for office (for supposed lack of experience).

In the preliminary result, the seat distribution remains the same. In percentages, the governing parties all do slightly better than in the exit poll:

  1. SD 30.50%
  2. SDS 29.32%
  3. Zarez 9.40%
  4. DeSUS 7.45%
  5. SNS 5.46%
  6. LDS 5.24%
  7. SLS+SMS 5.19%

Turnout was higher than last time, but still low... 62.16%.
