Slovakia's centre-right opposition 'wins' polls

A coalition of centre-right opposition parties in Slovakia has won enough seats to unseat the current government.
With almost all votes counted, Prime Minister Robert Fico's leftist Smer party has just over 35%, enough to gain 63 seats in the 150-seat parliament.
But three conservative parties and an ethnic Hungarian party are set to win 78 seats.
However, Fico said that he would still try to form a government, as leader of the largest single party.
Referring to his party's 63 seats, he said: "This is a number that gives us the right to accept a mandate from the president to form a cabinet. We are ready for that."
Growing public debt and a political fund-raising scandal affected Smer's popularity, analysts say.
Slovakia's worsening ties with Hungary also dominated the election campaign.
Turnout in the election was 58.7%. Six parties gained enough votes to cross the 5% threshold required to take seats in parliament.
