Main Points
Juraj Droba was first elected mayor of Bratislava in 2017 after a close contest against Rudolf Kusý and Milan Ftáčnik. In the most recent municipal election, Droba secured more than 70 percent of the vote, surpassing his previous result of 64 percent. In a post‑election interview with Hospodárske noviny (HN), Droba said he had not expected such a high share of the vote, describing the 70 percent as a “huge commitment” that surprised even him. Droba’s main challenger was Rastislav Gajarský, who had received just over 11 percent of the vote before midnight. Gajarský was backed by parties in the governing coalition, including Smer, Hlas, and SNS. Droba noted that if those parties had nominated a candidate earlier and run a more intensive campaign, the final percentage might have been lower. During the interview, Droba outlined his priorities for the next four years and discussed the support he received from former party colleagues. He also addressed questions about the absence of Sulík at the election night and whether he is preparing a successor. The article, published by HN, includes additional details on Droba’s plans and the political context of the election. Article source: HN Online | Image credit: HN Online
