Rakušan ready to visit coalition clubs before election of deputy speaker of Chamber of Deputies

The leader of the opposition Mayors and Independents (STAN), Vít Rakušan, said in response to a question from ČTK after Thursday’s meeting of STAN’s expert team that he is ready to visit the parliamentary clubs of the governing parties ahead of the election of a deputy speaker of the Chamber of Deputies.

Rakušan is a candidate for the post of deputy speaker of the chamber and can run only now, after he and the entire government of Petr Fiala (ODS) ended their roles on Monday, when he stepped down as deputy prime minister and interior minister. According to Rakušan, STAN has no other candidate, and the vote could take place in January.
