Bratislava, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 7th Mar, 2023 ) :Acting Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger on Tuesday launched a new political party, after quitting his old one months ahead of a general election scheduled for September.
"I am now the leader of a new party called Demokrati (Democrats)," Heger told reporters, adding that it is a centre-right movement.
The party's founding members also include four cabinet ministers from his former OLaNO party.
Heger announced in a Facebook post on Monday that he had quit OLaNO, saying that his role and mission in the party had been fulfilled.
"I have my own vision of politics. I know that if I want to fulfil it, I have to go my own way," he added.
"Life simply brings situations where we have to make a decision.
I'm doing it today." The centre-right government coalition won the 2020 general election in the country of 5.4 million on an anti-corruption programme.
Heger replaced OLaNO leader Igor Matovic as prime minister in April 2021, following a quarrel within the ruling four-party alliance.
In December, the government lost a no-confidence vote. It is now caretaking the country until the new election.
Following the no-confidence motion and the ensuing political crisis, the prime minister's ratings dwindled.
Only 19 percent of voters expressed their trust in Heger last month, compared to 28 percent a year ago.
The EU and NATO member's early general election is due to be held on September 30.
