Parliament to vote again on nominee for Supreme Court chief

Parliament is scheduled to vote on the next head of Hungary's Supreme Court next Monday, House Speaker Katalin Szili said on Wednesday.

The candidate, Andras Baka, a former member of the Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights, was nominated by President Laszlo Solyom, now for the second time, after parliament had rejected him in May last year.

Solyom's second choice for the post, Maria Orban Havasi, was rejected by parliament twice, in January and in March 2009.

The Supreme Court has been without a chief judge since June 24 last year, when Zoltan Lomnici's six-year term expired.
