ANO leads March poll, STAN moves into second place

The ANO party would win parliamentary elections in March with 34.2 percent of the vote, according to a STEM poll conducted for CNN Prima News. STAN has climbed to second place with 13.3 percent, overtaking ODS at 12.2 percent. The Czech Pirate Party would secure 8.1 percent and SPD 7.1 percent, both entering parliament. Other parties, including TOP 09 and the Greens, would remain below the threshold. Analysts say STAN is drawing support from voters of centre-right parties, while ODS has weakened partly due to competition from a new movement led by South Bohemian governor Martin Kuba.
