Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala speaks during an interview with Reuters in Prague, Czech Republic (REUTERS/File Photo)Former Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis’s opposition ANO party won most of the country’s major cities in municipal elections seen as a test for the ruling coalition’s handling of the energy crisis.
The Czech Republic, similar to other European Union member countries, has been struggling with soaring inflation pushed up mainly by high energy prices. The opposition has been saying that the government of Prime Minister Petr Fiala has done too little too late to help the people.
Czechs voted in more than 6,000 municipalities on Friday and Saturday, with the final results declared on Sunday morning due to a complicated system of vote distribution.
The ANO party, in opposition since last autumn, won in 17 out of 27 large cities, but it came second in the two largest ones – the capital Prague and Brno, where parties of the current ruling coalition won.
The most seats in the local assemblies – 38,099 out of the total 61,796 – go to various groups of independent candidates, which tend to score the most in this kind of election.
