ANO's Prague mayoral candidate withdraws from politics

Ondřej Prokop has withdrawn as the ruling ANO Party's candidate for Prague mayor and announced he is leaving all political offices, saying sustained media scrutiny of him and his family made his position untenable. His resignation follows reports that he failed to declare three Prague apartments in his asset disclosure and provided inconsistent information about his income in official filings. Prokop said the omission was a mistake and that he was prepared to pay a fine. ANO leader Andrej Babiš (ANO) said the party would hold an extraordinary meeting to elect a new leader for its Prague branch and select a new mayoral candidate.
