BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta faced a constitutional challenge from the centrist opposition on Wednesday that could very briefly hinder pursuit of IMF-backed reforms but seemed unlikely to scuttle his newly-forged coalition government.

Ponta's Social Democrat-led (PSD) government lost its majority last week with the departure of the Liberal Party. But he forged a new majority, albeit smaller, by pooling forces with the ethnic Hungarian UDMR and winning a confidence vote.
