The regional assembly approved the ANO candidate, led by MP and shadow health minister Kamal Farhan. “The current mayor of Pilsen, Roman Zarzycký, came up with the idea that as a strong patriot and today actually a seasoned politician from the lower house, I should give back to my beloved region at least part of what it has enabled and given me. I changed my mind. He discussed it with his wife. He discussed with colleagues in the movement, gained their support. And finally he made an important decision. I will lead the candidate of the ANO movement in the Pilsen region as a leader,” Kamal Farhan said after the regional assembly.
The mayor of Pilsen, Roman Zarzycký, is in seventh place on the ANO candidate list, the mayors of the Pilsen districts, Ivana Bubeníčková, David Procházka, Tomáš Soukup and Michal Hausner, as well as the mayor of Stříbra, Martin Záhoř, are also candidates.
