Civic Democrats seat for Prague defeat

With votes counted from around 60 percent of districts of the capital Prague, the conservative TOP 09 party is in the lead with over 36 percent, followed by the Civic Democrats, with more than 21 percent, and the Social Democrats, with just over 17 percent. This would be the first defeat in the Czech capital for the right-of-centre Civic Democrats, who have dominated Prague politics ever since the fall of communism.
