"Andrej Babis has been dressing down for this election campaign trail, opting for jeans and sneakers instead of tailored suits and handmade shoes. He sometimes appears at these events wearing a wool sweater, sometimes in a black hoodie featuring his initials, AB, and sometimes in a T-shirt emblazoned with the words "Czechia, everything for you" or "Czechia against the green madness.""
"Babis has rarely been seen on big stages during this election campaign, preferring to address small groups or speak from the platform of his election vehicle. He signs autographs, shakes hands, poses and smiles for selfies and seems to get chirpier the longer the events go on. This is 71-year-old Andrej Babis, billionaire, populist and controversial former prime minister of the Czech Republic."
"Czechia goes to the polls on Friday and Saturday to elect a new parliament, and opinion polls suggest that Babis will be Czechia's next prime minister with his ANO party. When Babis appears on the campaign trail, he generally speaks out against "the system" and "corrupt politicians," saying that the political establishment is incapable, bureaucratic and inefficient, that it disregards the people, divides up posts among its own, lies, cheats and wastes money."
