Iceland appears headed for a snap election after Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson pulled the plug on the Nordic nation’s fragile governing coalition.

The Prime Minister is expected to ask President Halla Tomasdottir on Monday to formally dissolve Iceland’s parliament, the Althingi, for an election on November 30, national broadcaster RUV reported.
