Lawyer and anti-corruption candidate for Slovakia Zuzana Caputova is significantly leading the country’s first round of presidential elections.
Ms. Caputova leads the polls just over 40% with her small Progressive party, whilst her conservative opponent Maros Sefcovic falls behind with less than 19%.
Ms. Caputova has been backed in her campaign by current President Andrej Kiska, and should she win the second round of campaigns, she will be the first female president of Slovakia.
