Prague

The party of billionaire populist Andrej Babis, The "Czech Trump", took an early lead in the Czech Republic's general election on Saturday followed by a far-right anti-EU party, partial results showed.

State election officials citing results from just under 31 percent of polling stations said Babis' anti-corruption and anti-euro ANO (Yes) movement was leading with nearly 32 percent support followed by anti-EU and anti-Islam Freedom and Free Democracy (SPD) which took 11.6 percent.
