Karel Diviš may now stand in January’s Czech presidential elections. The Supreme Administrative Court on Tuesday upheld a complaint he made against the Ministry of the Interior after it said he had submitted too few legitimate signatures in his application.
However, the court rejected a similar petition from Karel Janeček.
Meanwhile, judges excluded Denisa Rohanová, who had previously been accepted as a candidate for president; she based her application on the signatures of former legislators.
Nine people will contest the elections, with the first round set to start on January 13.

The current Czech presidency of the EU has prepared a draft gas price cap taking into accounts the positions of all states, Mr. Síkela said. If no agreement is reached on Tuesday, ministers could do so at another meeting on Monday, he added.

Call and mobile data prices in Czechia remain among the highest in Europe, the Supreme Audit Office says in a report on how the Czech Telecommunications Office managed state finances and property between 2018 and 2022.
The 2020 auction of radio frequencies organised by the Czech Telecommunications Office with the aim to reduce prices and increase competition on the market did not meet expectations, the report says. The prices of calls and mobile data in the Czech Republic were among the highest in Europe in 2021 and the frequencies were shared out between the three existing large operators without significant competition," the auditors said.
The Czech Telecommunications Office is the central administrative authority in market regulation and setting conditions for business in the field of electronic communications and postal services.
