LONDON

The Czech Republic's ANO party leader has said they will sign a coalition agreement with two Eurosceptic parties, Motorists and SPD party on Nov. 3, local media reported on Wednesday.

Right-wing populist ANO party's leader Andrej Babis said they reached an agreement with the Motorists party and the Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) party to form a coalition government, set to be signed next week, Radio Prague International reported.

The leaders of the three parties are set to meet later Wednesday to discuss the allocation of key parliamentary posts and the policy agenda of the planned government, according to the report.

It came after President Petr Pavel on Monday formally tasked Babis with negotiating the formation of a new government.

The ANO leader is expected to submit the coalition agreement and the government’s main priorities to Pavel later this week.

In the last parliamentary election, held on Oct. 3-4, populist billionaire Babis' ANO topped the poll with about 34.7% of the vote, comfortably ahead of the governing center-right Spolu coalition, which secured around 23.2%.
