Results from the Czech Republic's general election suggest centre-right parties may form the next government.
With almost all votes counted, the left-wing Social Democrats led with about 22%.
But Jiri Paroubek quickly resigned as leader of the party, saying the country was "on track for a right-wing coalition".
The conservative Civic Democrats have about 20%, but potential allies could boost that towards a majority.
One of them, TOP09, has about 16%, while the centrist Public Affairs party has some 11%.
The big campaign issues included cutting the deficit, pension reform and stamping out corruption. Analysts say the pension system is unsustainable.
The country has had an interim administration since the centre-right government was toppled halfway through the country's European Union presidency in March 2009.
