Iceland's president on Wednesday tasked conservative leader Bjarni Benediktsson with forming a new government after snap elections on Saturday triggered by the Panama Papers scandal. "My decision is to give the chairman of the Independence Party the power to form a government that has a majority in the parliament," President Gudni Johannesson told reporters, referring to Benediktsson. He added Benediktsson had not been officially chosen as prime minister. |
