In democratic countries with party-list voting systems, parties usually do not have an absolute majority, and have to form coalitions with other parties. It may happen that no party manages to assemble a coalition, and in this case, usually the elections should be repeated. In Israel, in the last two years, there were several repeat-elections due to failure in assembling a government.

My question is: what are some recent events in other countries, in which it took an exceptionally long time (and possibly several repeated elections) to assemble a coalitional government?
