Slovak Christian Democrats to Run Alone in Local Elections

The Christian Democratic Movement (KDH), one of Slovakia's established center-right opposition parties, has announced it will contest this year's municipal and regional elections independently, without forming electoral alliances with other parties. KDH leader Milan Majerský confirmed the decision, stating the party's goal is to achieve the strongest possible result on its own. The announcement came as the party also discussed the current state of the country and its healthcare system. Local and regional elections in Slovakia determine the composition of town councils, mayoral offices, and regional governments across the country, making them a key test of party strength outside the national parliament.
