ANO party to announce presidential candidate on Monday

ANO leader Andrej Babiš has said he will announce his party’s candidate for president at a press briefing in Prague on Monday. Mr. Babiš has refused to disclose whether he himself will run for the post. The deadline for submitting candidacies expires on November 8. Opinion surveys indicate that support for the ANO party leader, who was earlier considered one of the hot contestants, has been sliding and his chances of winning the election are now slim.
