She said the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (CPBM) was one of the few parliamentary parties to improve its position and it had also "significantly strengthened its position" in the biggest towns.
Most seats, especially in the villages and smaller towns, were as usual won by candidates standing as independents, a good number of whom are CPBM supporters and sympathizers or people willing to work with the party.
The CPBM’s most important gains were in the Czech Republic’s 16 biggest towns, where it increased its 1998 vote by 131,314 votes on a lower poll (down from 45 percent in 1998 to 43.4 percent).
