Another candidate has withdrawn from the race for chairman of the Prešov Self-Governing Region. After Judita Laššáková of Smer, who was the first to give up her candidacy, the SNS withdrew its candidate Monika Lešková. korzar.sme.sk ↗
Lešková was the nominee of the nationalists. Her departure further narrows the field of candidates ahead of the election of the Prešov Self-Governing Region chairman. Media reported the withdrawal on October 5 and 6.
With both candidates gone, the two biggest favorites remain in the race. Among the names being discussed in connection with further developments is Milan Mazurek. Political insiders speculate whether the governing parties might quietly back his candidacy after all. Refresher.sk ↗
The withdrawals of Judita Laššáková and Monika Lešková may thus affect the balance of forces in the campaign. However, the available information does not indicate that the governing parties have decided to jointly support any particular candidate.
Further developments will depend on whether the campaign of the remaining candidates intensifies and whether the political parties publicly announce their preferences. The names of Milan Majerský and Milan Mazurek are mentioned among the main players in the contest for regional leadership, and in Mazurek's case there is also talk of possible support from the governing parties.
