Slovak MP Škurlová Announces Bid for Mayor of Vranov nad Topľou

A sitting member of Slovakia's national parliament is seeking to become mayor of a northeastern Slovak town. Marta Škurlová has announced her candidacy for mayor of Vranov nad Topľou, a town of roughly 20,000 residents in the Prešov region of eastern Slovakia, arguing that the town is in need of change. Škurlová is basing her campaign on three priority areas for the municipality, though the specific details of those priorities were not disclosed. Local mayoral elections in Slovakia are held alongside regional government elections, with the next scheduled cycle due in 2026.
