Survey: ANO way ahead, Mayors in front of Civic Democrats in second

The ANO party of Prime Minister Andrej Babis would have come first in elections in February with 34.5 percent of the vote, suggests a poll conducted by the Kantar agency for Czech Television published on Sunday. The Mayors and Independents would have come second on 15.5 percent, ahead of another opposition party, the Civic Democrats, who headed the last government, on 14.5 percent.

Coalition parties Freedom and Direct Democracy and the Motorists would have gained 6.5 percent and 5 percent, respectively. The Pirates enjoyed 9 percent support last month. Meanwhile a new party named Our Czechia would have got 3.5 percent and thus failed to reach the threshold of 5 percent.
