Czech Republic: Election is looking to be very tight, a lot of scenarios are in play
There are two potential blocs with equal strength right on eve of election
Any additional party that makes it to parliament may become kingmaker
ANO had a good campaign, though it also had a couple of scandals
ANO is set to finish first, followed by Spolu, Pirates/STAN and SPD, according to polls
KSCM, CSSD and Prisaha all have chances to enter parliament, but could also fall below 5% threshold
ANO and SPD on one side, and Spolu and Pirates/STAN on the other are at equal strength
KSCM is most likely to favour ANO, Prisaha - centre-right parties, CSSD may become a wild card
Forming a new government may take a while, as there are no deadlines
President Zeman is a close ally of PM Babis, so he will certainly name Babis as his first pick for PM
