Babis would win first, Pavel second round of presidential race

Ex-PM and opposition ANO leader Andrej Babis would win the first round of the Czech presidential election, if held now, but in the second round runoff vote he would be defeated by Petr Pavel, former chief-of-staff and NATO Military Committee head, the Median agency's latest election model shows. In the first round, senator Marek Hilser and former Mendel University rector Danuse Nerudova would together finish third.
