President Cyril Ramaphosa’s party, the African National Congress, is seeking a broad alliance after it failed to win enough seats in last week’s election to form a government on its own.

Robert Fico said in a video address that he hoped to return to work in the coming weeks. He blamed the political opposition for the attack, a notion that the parties have strongly denied.

The African National Congress received less than 50 percent of the national vote for the first time since gaining power 30 years ago, setting the nation on an uncharted course.

The Alternative for Germany party remains strong, but a growing pushback at home and abroad may be blunting its surge.

A police officer and an anti-Islamist activist were among the victims, according to the authorities, who have not released information on a motive.
