In the Czech Republic, on January 27, voting begins in the second round of the presidential elections, where former NATO general Petro Pavlo and ex-prime minister, leader of the ANO party Andriy Babish are fighting.
This is reported by ČTK.
Voting will take place over two days: from 14:00 to 22:00 on Friday and from 08:00 to 14:00 on Saturday 28 January. About 8.25 million voters will vote at almost 14,900 polling stations. The results of the count should become known a few hours after the closing of the polling stations and will be published on the website of the statistical office.
We will remind you that in the first round, Petro Pavlo won the most votes, ahead of Andrii Babish by 23,000 votes. After the first round, a number of candidates who did not make it to the second round urged to vote for Pavel. Current President Milos Zeman and the Czech communists KSČM expressed their support for Babis.
The last days before the second round were remembered for Babish's statement that he was ceasing contact with voters as part of the presidential campaign due to threats of murder, as well as provocation against Pavel - unknown persons launched disinformation that the candidate had allegedly died, creating a fake website and mailing list for this purpose.
