Poll: Opposition parties would receive majority of lower house mandates

According to a fresh poll by the Factum Invenio agency, the current opposition party, the Social Democrats, would receive some 72 mandates in the lower house if elections were held today. The senior coalition party, the Civic Democrats, would secure some 41 seats; the Communists 42. The Green Party and the Christian Democrats would be able to again gain seats in the lower house if an election took place today. They would receive 7 and 14 seats, respectively. The poll also suggests that over 60 percent of Czechs would cast their ballot, a slightly lower percentage than 2010’s voter turnout.
