PRAGUE, April 27 (Reuters) – The Czech centre-right cabinet

won a parliamentary vote of confidence on Friday, gaining a new

lease on life after the break-up of one of the three ruling

parties put the austerity-driven administration on the brink of

collapse.

The result was expected after a faction from the split

coalition partner declared allegiance to the cabinet.

But Prime Minister Petr Necas faces a tough task to push

ahead with his fiscal and health reforms in an evenly-split

parliament, and an early election before regular polls in 2014

is possible.
