Marta Kos, the ruling party’s presidential candidate, withdrew her bid for the 23 October election, citing “change of circumstances out of personal reasons”.
The Freedom Movement will discuss further steps in the coming days, the party said, adding it would focus on the November local elections. Kos, a former diplomat whom polls suggest does not have a chance to win the election, indicated she would continue to serve as a vice-chair of the Freedom Movement.
