LJUBLJANA, Ramadan 19, 1435, Jul 16, 2014, SPA -- Slovenia's new government could be formed in the second half of September, President Borut Pahor said on Wednesday, after a new centre-left party won the most votes in a snap election, Reuters reported. The Party of Miro Cerar (SMC) won 36 out of 90 seats in parliament, more than any other party since Slovenia's independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. "Following a patient dialogue between parties and their parliamentary groups, a new government could be formed in the second half of September," Pahor's office said in a statement after he met Cerar. Sunday's snap election was called because the centre-left Prime Minister Alenka Bratusek resigned in May after losing the battle for leadership of the Positive Slovenia party. The official election results are due on July 29. Parliament will convene in early August and the president must nominate a prime minister-designate within the following 30 days. --SPA 17:33 LOCAL TIME 14:33 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
