Czech President Petr Pavel appoints 2 new ministers after junior coalition partner Pirates exit on September 27th.

Czech President Petr Pavel appointed two new ministers on September 27, following the exit of the junior coalition partner, the Pirates. Prime Minister Petr Fiala's government retains a majority in the lower house with four other parties. The reshuffle occurred after Fiala dismissed Regional Development Minister Ivan Bartos, prompting the Pirates to leave and other ministers to resign. This shift follows electoral gains by the opposition party ANO, led by former Prime Minister Andrej Babis.
