"With 100% of the votes processed from the first round of the presidential election in the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, who received 35.4% of the votes, with 1,975,056 people having voted for him, and Andrej Babis, who received 34.99%, or 1,952,213 votes, made it to the second round of election," CZSO said in a Saturday statement.
According to the release, the runoff will be held from January 27-28.
The remaining six candidates managed to get between 0.6% and13.9% of the votes, and were thus unable to overtake Babis and Pavel in the first round.
