Billionaire and former Prime Minister Andrej Babish’s right-wing ANO party has clinched victory in the Czech parliamentary election. With nearly all ballots counted, the party won almost 35 percent of the vote. The Spolu alliance of Prime Minister Petr Fiala is far behind with just 23 percent. Six parties are above the five percent threshold required to win seats in the lower house. The victory is likely to strengthen the populist, anti-immigration camp in Europe and reduce Czech support for Ukraine. But his party will need to form a coalition with other parties. Interview with journalist Ian Willoughby in Prague.
