捷克人周五前往投票站，参加地方政府和参议院选举，此次投票被视为在未来全国性竞争之前政治情绪的早期试金石。民粹主义总理安德烈·巴比什，Agrofert食品和化工集团的创始人，希望他的党能在81名成员的上议院增加席位。
Czechs went to the polls on Friday in local government and Senate elections, in a vote seen as an early test of political sentiment ahead of future national contests. Populist Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, founder of the Agrofert food and chemicals conglomerate, is hoping his party can add seats in the 81-member upper chamber.
参议院是对政府权力的制衡，巴比什的党在最近的全国选举后已经成为议会下议院中最大的单一派别。在上议院获得席位将增强他在未来立法斗争中的地位，而失利可能会鼓舞寻求限制其影响力的反对党。
The Senate serves as a check on government power, and Babiš's party already holds the largest single bloc in the lower house of parliament following recent national elections. Gains in the upper chamber would strengthen his position heading into future legislative battles, while losses could embolden opposition parties seeking to limit his influence.
完整结果预计将在周五投票的选票全部清点后公布，巴比什的政府可能会密切关注参议院中新的力量平衡。分析人士将研究此次选举结果如何重塑未来几个月的更广泛的联盟格局。
Full results are expected once ballots from Friday's vote are tallied, with Babiš's government likely to watch the new balance of power in the Senate closely. Analysts will be studying how the outcome reshapes the broader coalition landscape heading into the months ahead.
