Starting Gun To Be Fired On Czech Presidential Race

CZECHIA
  • Polling stations will open for Czechia's presidential election at 14:00CET/13:00GMT and Czechs will be able to cast their votes until 22:00CET/21:00GMT. The voting process will resume between 08:00CET/07:00GMT and 14:00CET/13:00GMT on Saturday, with first exit polls set to come out shortly thereafter. Lidove Noviny cited estimates suggesting that the turnout could reach 70%, the highest in the country's presidential election. The weekend race has been defined as a neck-and-neck race between three leading candidates, former Premier Andrej Babis, retired army general Petr Pavel and economist Danuse Nerudova, over who will advance to the runoff amid expectations that none of the leading contenders will garner a simple majority of votes in the first round.
  • The lower house of parliament resumes session today and the ANO movement led by Andrej Babis suggested that it would hand over the signatures under a motion of no confidence in the government.
  • The CNB will publish data on Czechia's current account balance this morning, with consensus calling for a reduction in the deficit to CZK26.00bn.
