Tomáš Zdechovský, a Member of the European Parliament since 2014, will lead the Christian Democrats in the European elections next year. The party’s nomination conference at the weekend also saw František Talíř, deputy governor of South Bohemia, and MEP Michaela Šojdrová, placed second and third on the party’s ticket.
The Christian Democrats will decide by the end of September whether they will compete in the European elections on their own or as part of the SPOLU coalition, with which they are currently in government.
The party is confident that the experienced MEPs at the top of their ticket will be able to secure a strong result in the European elections.
