Mitteleuropa: Wahl in der Slowakei – Alle Regionspräsidenten behalten Amt
Die Slowakei hat am Samstag gewählt. Die Wähler bestimmten ihre Bürgermeister und Regionspräsidenten. Ein klares Signal für die Parlamentswahl in einem Jahr blieb jedoch aus.
Bratislava, Slovakia – The majority of regional and local leaders in Slovakia's recent elections have maintained their positions, according to unofficial final results released by the state election commission on Sunday. This outcome suggests that there were no significant changes anticipated in the upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for late autumn 2027.
The government's parties, led by Prime Minister Robert Fico, retained control of most of their seats in the elections held on Saturday, just as the liberal and conservative opposition parties did. On the municipal level, numerous independent candidates continued to succeed. All eight regional presidents were confirmed in their roles, with government parties securing two positions, while the other four belonged to liberal and conservative opposition parties.
In two regions, the two independent candidates who do not align with any major party groups won again. In the capital city of Bratislava, known as an opposition stronghold, incumbent Mayor Matus Vallo won the direct election with 64% of the votes, overwhelmingly defeating the candidate supported by the government parties, Transportation Minister Jozef Raz.
