Czechs Vote Out Populist Prime Minister Andrej Babiš
----------------------------------------------------

In the Czech Republic, voters have defeated strongman populist Prime
Minister Andrej Babiš in weekend elections, after opposition parties

scandal-ridden billionaire Babiš has attacked refugees and more recently
appeared in the Pandora Papers, which exposed the covert financial
dealings of politicians and other elites.
