Poll: Majority of Czechs want woman for president
Nearly two thirds of respondents in a newly published STEM/MARK poll said that they would want a female president. Meanwhile, nearly 80 percent of respondents said that they can imagine a woman holding the presidential office in the Czech Republic. Civic Democrat Senator Miroslava Němcová is currently the woman polling the highest among prospective presidential candidates, followed by nuclear energy expert Dana Drábová.
The poll also asked the question whether former Prime Minister and ANO party leader Andrej Babiš is planning to run for the position of head of state. Three quarters of respondents said that they believe he will.
The presidential election is expected to take place before March 8, 2023.
