Radek John re-elected Public Affairs chair

MP and former interior minister Radek John was on Wednesday re-elected the chairman of the Public Affairs party. In an on-line vote among some 800 party supporters, Mr John beat MP Kateřina Klasnová for the post by a narrow margin of some 2 percent. However, only 12.5 percent of registered party supporters took part in the vote. The Public Affairs party left the coalition earlier this year in the wake of a scandal that hit the party’s founder and unofficial leader, Vít Bárta who landed a conditional sentence for corruption.
