Peake starting new political party

A new political party is taking shape around the outgoing members of Public Affairs. Karolína Peake told reporters on Wednesday that they would be registering a new political body in the coming days. The faction has not been given a name; Mrs Peake said only that it would be a centre-right party and would hope to have a parliamentary club (which requires a total of 10 MPs). She has declined to say how many MPs she expects to join the new grouping. The ex-Public Affairs members held an organisational meeting regarding the party on Wednesday.
