According to the results of a March survey of voter preferences conducted by the STEM agency the party would now win general elections in the country, by far outstripping the present coalition leader –the Social Democratic Party. ANO, which got 18.6 percent in October’s early general elections would now get 28.9 percent of the vote, trailed by the Social Democrats which would only get 20.5 percent, a tenth of a percentage point less than they got in the elections. I spoke to the head of the STEM agency Jan Hartl about the reasons behind ANO’s growing popularity. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/babis_andrej1_0.jpg?timestamp=1591142864 https://english.radio.cz/ruling-ano-party-forges-ahead-voter-preference-survey-8300357 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
