The Prague 1 regional organization of ODS will not submit a candidate list for the autumn municipal elections. According to available information, it wants to comply with the party leadership's demand that former city councillor, ex-mayor of Prague 1, and local organization chairman Filip Dvořák not appear on the list. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
The decision means that ODS in Prague 1 will not run independently in the municipal elections. According to the announcement, members of the local organization may try to run for a different subject. The regional organization's move follows objections from the ODS leadership regarding Dvořák's possible nomination. According to published information, the party leadership considered it a problem that Dvořák had not sufficiently explained the questions that had arisen around him. lidovky.cz ↗
ODS representative Martin Kupka also responded to the decision, stating that the Prague organization's approach damages the party's good name. The ODS leadership thus made clear that it insists Dvořák not appear on the candidate list, while the local organization chose a solution in which it will not submit a candidate list at all. novinky.cz ↗
Further developments will depend on whether ODS members from Prague 1 actually make use of the option to run through a different subject. For voters in the municipal district, this means that the traditional ODS party list will not be available in the autumn municipal elections. idnes.cz ↗
