If you were to design a candidate for Czech president who was the exact opposite of incumbent Miloš Zeman, he would look a lot like Jiří Drahoš. With Czechs voting in the first round of a presidential election on Friday and Saturday, polls show that Drahoš, a physical chemist by profession, is the most serious threat to a second term in office for Zeman. The 68-year-old candidate looks professorial and fit and discusses issues in a sober, serious and non-partisan manner.
