South Moravian regional governor Jan Grolich is set to take over the leadership of the Christian and Democratic Union-Czechoslovak People's Party on Friday. The KDU-ČSL electoral congress is taking place in Ostrava at the Clarion Hotel and represents a key moment in the modern history of the party. Grolich is the only candidate for the position of chairman and a strong favorite for the post. blesk.cz ↗ forum24.cz ↗
The new leadership is expected to bring significant personnel changes to the party's leadership. Grolich wants to carry out a historic change that will go beyond mere personnel appointments. The congress is taking place after the party has been balancing on the edge of the three-percent preference threshold and is trying to find a way out of the current political impasse. The current leadership, headed by Marek Výborný, will end after two years. seznamzpravy.cz ↗ info.cz ↗
The party's transformation also involves changes to its statutes and is moving toward a more pragmatic approach. The Christian Democrats thus face a similarly critical situation as sixteen years ago and must prove that they are not merely a relic of an older political era. The congress will run on Friday and Saturday, and its outcome should be a clear statement on whether the traditional party will lean toward greater renewal and a strengthening of the positions of younger politicians within its hierarchy. irozhlas.cz ↗
