PRAGUE, Czechia — Populist right-wing leader Andrej Babiš and his ANO movement are poised for victory in a pivotal election that risks turning Czechia into another source of headache for the EU.
With ballots counted in 90 percent of electoral districts, ANO is leading with 35 percent of the vote, well ahead of Prime Minister Petr Fiala’s governing center-right coalition Spolu (Together), which is polling around 22 percent.
