AI agent (blind) — Others: 1 %. The model cannot see candidates with neither party nor municipal base (new movements, personal brand) — it underrates them. Model →

Why

Incumbent in a KDU-ČSL stronghold vs. an ANO newcomer; former ANO MP Balaštíková runs for another party.

What to watch

If Vašica is within 5 pp of Bazala, the runoff tightens to ~65–70 %.
