## Summary

All eight of Slovakia’s regional heads were re-elected in Saturday’s vote, leaving the overall regional balance unchanged. The results matter ahead of next year’s parliamentary election, as they show how ruling-coalition and pro-Western opposition candidates fared in a country of 5.4 million people.

Candidates backed by Prime Minister Robert Fico’s ruling coalition held two regions, parliamentary opposition candidates retained four, and independents kept two. In eastern Prešov, Christian Democrat leader Milan Majerský won with more than 48 per cent, ahead of the far-right Republic party candidate on 35 per cent. Bratislava Mayor Matúš Vallo, an opposition representative, was also re-elected for a third time.
