Almost complete results show that the leftist ruling party has won the parliamentary election in Slovakia, but will need coalition partners to form a majority government, AP reported. With the votes from more than 98 percent of the almost 6,000 polling stations counted by the Statistics Office early Sunday, the Smer-Social Democracy of Prime Minister Robert Fico, which campaigned on an anti-migrant ticket is a winner with 28.4 percent of the vote, or 49 seats in the 150-seat Parliament. That represented a significant drop in support from the 2012 election when Smer took 44.4 percent and was able to govern alone. Eight parties have won seats, including People's Party, Our Slovakia, which got 8.1 percent.
