Slovenia's incumbent government, led by right-wing nationalist conservative PM (the one who congratulated Trump) Janez Janša, lost its majority and might face a no-confidence vote.

All the government changes in the last 15 years (Parties: SDS - national conservative, SD - social democratic, NSi - christian democrat, LDS - liberal, Zares - liberal, GVL - liberal, PS - liberal, SMC - liberal, SAB - liberal, LMŠ - liberal, DeSUS - Pensioners' interests, SLS - conservative, SNS - nationalist, Levica - left).  

Why?

Why not?
Basically the last 15-20 years of Slovenian politics have been about increasingly pathetic attempts to find a successor to Janez Drnovšek.

I wouldn't read too much into the polling numbers, Slovenia's parties constantly experience ups and downs. For instance, SAB polled constantly below 4 % for four years until the 2018 elections, when they gained momentum at the exact right time just ahead of the vote and made it into Parliament with slight gains. Slovene polls always have a high number of undecideds and non-voters, it is really annoying the overview in Wikipedia doesn't include the 'party only' numbers.
Which is largely a reflection of the fact that only the SDS (by which we mean Janša) seems to have a significantly-sized firm core vote. It's all a bit Israeli.

Well, it seems like Slovenians still have appetite for ANOTHER centrist party, or rather an alliance. The chairman of the extra-parliamentary Green Party announced today that he intends to form an electoral alliance called "Unite Slovenia!".
If you mean the one led by Andrej Čuš, he is, IIRC, the former chair of the SDS youth wing.
