据捷克统计局公布的初步结果，目前已有超过93%的投票站统计完毕，由这位民粹主义亿万富翁领导的中间派“ANO（是的）”运动有望让13名候选人晋级下周举行的第二轮投票。此次选举将决定参议院81个席位中的27个。
PRAGUE — A political group led by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš was leading Saturday in the Czech Republic’s first round of voting to fill one-third of the seats in Parliament’s upper house, the Senate With votes from more than 93% of polling stations counted, the centrist ANO (YES) movement led of the populist billionaire could have the most candidates, 13, advancing to next week’s runoffs. ANO hopes to make gains in the 81-seat Senate, which is controlled by pro-Western opposition parties.
