Head of Civic Democrats regional branch: Mírek Topolánek should resign from his post as party chairman

Jiří Pospíšil, the head of the Plzen regional branch of the Civic Democrats, said that Mírek Topolánek should resign from his post as chairman of the party as well, after having already resigned from his post as election leader. Mr. Pospíšil said he believes that to win the trust of the public, the head of the party should be its election leader and top candidate. Mr. Pospíšsil said it would be best if the Civic Democrats’ new election leader, Pavel Nečas, were to take up the post.
