Košice Regional Governor Seeks Third Term Despite Losing Key Support Over Tender Allegations
Share:
Rastislav Trnka, the current governor of Košice region, has announced his intention to run for a third term in the 2026 regional elections. However, Trnka is facing suspicions over alleged irregularities in a public tender process, which have cost him important political backing as he prepares for the upcoming campaign. Regional governors in Slovakia are directly elected officials who oversee administration and development in their respective regions, making them key figures in local governance and public investment decisions.
