Babiš: Senate second round not success for ANO but some positives

Opposition leader Andrej Babiš says the performance of his ANO in the second round of Senate elections – which concluded on Saturday – was not a success, but says the party can take some positives from the results. In an interview for Mladá fronta Dnes, Mr. Babiš said ANO would likely have its own group in the Senate for the first time and had come very close in several constituencies.

He said turnout of less than 20 percent in the second round showed what people thought of the institution.

Mr. Babiš also said that ANO had been the winners of the previous weekend’s local elections by some distance.
