- The ANO movement is campaigning to regain Ostrava’s mayoral office after losing control following internal disputes in spring 2023.
- ANO leadership is backing Richard Vereš, mayor of Silesian Ostrava, as its candidate to replace Jan Dohnal of the ODS.
- The party has entered the campaign with what the report describes as near-maximum ambitions.
ANO has entered Ostrava’s pre-election campaign with an openly ambitious objective: to reclaim the mayor’s chain of office. The movement lost the city’s leadership after internal disagreements in spring 2023.
Its leadership is not hiding its preferred successor to Jan Dohnal of the ODS. ANO wants Richard Vereš, the current mayor of Silesian Ostrava, to become its lead candidate for the city.
The campaign begins with what are described as almost maximum goals for the movement. The immediate target is a return to Ostrava’s magistrate, where ANO wants to restore its position by promoting Vereš.
