Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša was removed from office Wednesday after a "no-confidence vote" in the Slovenian Parliament.
The 55-33 vote came on the heels of corruption allegations by the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption (CPC), Slovenian anti-corruption watchdog. Alenka Bratusek, from the opposition party Positive Slovenia (PS), has been picked as Janša's replacement, Al Jazeera reported.
The CPC accused the ex-Prime Minister of failing to disclose over $260,000 in assets. Janša proclaimed his innocence but failed to explain his finances, Al Jazeera reported. When Janša refused to step down as Prime Minister, a number of coalition government partners split from his SDS Party, paving the way for a no-confidence vote.
