Czech billionaire PM Andrej Babis’s party dominated regional elections, overcoming a drop in popularity over his mixed record in handling the resurgent coronavirus pandemic.
Babis’s ANO party won the most mandates in 10 out of 13 regions in the vote, according to partial results. That compared with ANO’s victories in nine regions four years ago. While local administrations hold significantly less power than the central cabinet in Prague, the ballot is a gauge of voter support about a year before general elections. The result shows that Babis has withstood the fallout of the escalating Covid-19 crisis.
