Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal ejected the Social Democratic Party from his coalition after his government’s approval ratings hit their lowest in more than two decades.

Michal said his center-right Reform Party will continue to govern with its economically liberal partner Estonia 200, together holding a slim majority of 52 parliament members in the Baltic nation’s 101-seat legislature.
