Green Party to evaluate poor election results

On Sunday, the leadership of the Green Party is to evaluate its defeat in the recent general elections. Other points of discussion will be the senate elections to take place in fall as well as an upcoming party conference, where some senior party members may resign. The outgoing leader of the Green Party, Ondřej Liška, said that the party lost a lot of votes due to bad polling results prior to the elections which indicated that the party would not have a chance at gaining the five percent of the vote that is necessary to win seats in the parliament.

Mr Liška resigned from his post as party leader following the poor election result of only 2.44 percent of the vote, but has since said that he will decide by the end of June whether to apply for the same position again.
