Populist billionaire Andrej Babis has won the Czech parliamentary election in a political comeback that puts the country on a course away from supporting Ukraine and towards Hungary and Slovakia, which have taken a pro-Russian path. With the votes from almost 98% of polling stations counted by the statistics office, Babis's ANO (YES) movement captured 35% of the vote followed by the pro-western coalition of the prime minister, Petr Fiala, with 23.0%. The coalition defeated Babis in the 2021 election.
