ZURICH (Reuters) - Switzerland's parliament on Wednesday elected Martin Pfister to be the new member of the country's federal council, or cabinet, replacing Viola Amherd, who is stepping down at the end of this month.

Pfister edged out his colleague Markus Ritter, with both men representing the centrist Die Mitte party.

Amherd, the Swiss defence minister, served as the country's president last year within the seven-member federal council.
