PRAGUE (AP) — The main Czech opposition group led by former populist Prime Minister Andrej Babis has won an election for a third of the seats in the Senate. The ruling coalition still retained a majority in the house. Babis’ ANO, or YES in English, has won eight of the 27 seats up for grabs in the 81-seat Senate. It’s the first time the centrist movement won that many seats in the chamber. The candidates linked to the coalition won 15 seats. The results are a boost for Babis ahead of next year’s parliamentary elections. ANO has been the most popular party and is favoured to win that vote.
