Doctors say Czech President, Milos Zeman is in stable condition, a spokesperson for the military hospital in Prague where he was being treated said on Monday.
According to the CTK news agency, the 77-year-old was taken to the hospital’s intensive care unit on Sunday, a day after legislative elections delivered a shock defeat to his ally, Prime Minister Andrej Babis.
In view of Zeman’s unclear state of health, the Czech Republic is facing a period of uncertainty.
He plays a crucial role in determining what happens next because as president he is in charge of naming who forms the next government.
A spokesperson for Zeman said that his hospitalization does not jeopardize the exploratory talks between the parties after the election.
Details of what is ailing the president have not been disclosed.
He had only been released from hospital in September after an eight-day stay.
Babis suffered a surprise defeat at the hands of an alliance of liberal-conservative opposition parties, which won 108 of the 200 seats in the Chamber of Deputies after voting was held on Friday and Saturday.
Babis’ ANO party secured 72 seats.
