Following the 2017 election, ANO 2011 comfortably emerged as the largest party, although with no route to a majority due to the poor performance of potential coalition partners. Despite this, Babiš was appointed Prime Minister on 6 December, and a week later formed a minority government composed of ANO 2011 figures as well as independents. He became the oldest and wealthiest person ever to become Prime Minister, as well as the first Prime Minister in the history of the Czech Republic to be from a different party than ODS or ČSSD. Babiš is also the first Prime Minister who was born outside the Czech Republic and whose native language is not Czech. On 16 January 2018, his government lost motion of confidence in the Chamber of Deputies, requiring Babiš to form a second government, which became the first since the fall of Communism in 1989 to rely on support from the Communist Party.
