context_page_description: Legislative elections were held in the Czech Republic on 2 and 3 June 2006 to elect the members of the Chamber of Deputies.
  A major scandal broke out a few days before the elections when a classified report by Jan Kubice, the head of the anti-organised crime unit, was leaked to the media, accusing the ruling Social Democratic Party of corruption and interference in police investigations. The Civic Democratic Party and the Social Democratic Party, the two largest parties, obtained their highest percentage of votes ever. Turnout increased from the previous elections election in 2002.
  The elections produced an evenly balanced result. One potential coalition – the Civic Democratic Party, Christian Democrats and Greens – won exactly half of the 200 seats, while the Social Democratic Party and the Communists held the other half, meaning that either coalition would struggle to pass legislation.
  Following the elections, 230 days passed without a new government being formed. Eventually, a coalition government formed of the Civic Democratic Party, KDU-ČSL and the Greens passed a confidence vote on 19 January 2007, when two Social Democrat deputies abstained.
