Former premier leads in Czech vote

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 26 Januari 2013 | 23.55

LEFT-LEANING former prime minister Milos Zeman is leading in the race for the largely ceremonial post of Czech president.

With the votes from more than 50 per cent of polling stations counted on Saturday, the outspoken Zeman was leading with 57.62 per cent of the vote while his opponent, conservative Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg received 42.37 per cent.

Czechs are electing the country's president in a direct popular vote for the first time, choosing a leader to replace euro-sceptic President Vaclav Klaus.

Zeman and Schwarzenberg, a bow-tie wearing aristocrat, are facing each other in a runoff after finishing as the top two candidates in the first round two weeks ago.

Klaus' second and final term in office ends March 7. The new president will be sworn in the following day.
