On Friday and Saturday, municipal and Senate elections will take place in the Czech Republic. Voting will occur in more than 6,000 municipalities and in 27 Senate districts. According to polls, Prime Minister Andrej Babiš's ANO party is entering the elections in the lead, and in the Senate it has only a few mandates it could lose. Der Standard ↗
The elections will be the first nationwide test for Andrej Babiš's coalition government since it took office. The results will determine the leadership of towns and municipalities as well as the composition of part of the upper chamber of Parliament. Attention is therefore focused on the result of ANO, but also on the other parliamentary parties and their ability to succeed in the regions. idnes.cz ↗
The pre-election campaign was accompanied by disputes over the interpretation of individual issues as well as arguments concerning the financing of Prague. The Motorists are also seeking voter support, their candidate lists having been presented by Filip Turek. In one of the pre-election videos, he addressed the Motorists' candidate for Prague mayor, Klára Sovová, with the words: "Klára, I'd like to undress you here today." forum24.cz ↗
The voting result will show whether ANO retains a strong position even outside national politics and what support its coalition partners receive. At the same time, the Senate elections could change the balance of power in the upper chamber. The outcome will be determined by voter turnout and the distribution of support in individual municipalities and electoral districts.
