Samuel Migaľ Prešov regional election campaign
Overview
Samuel Migaľ, the Slovak Minister of Investment, Regional Development and Informatization, announced his candidacy as an independent for the chairmanship of the Prešov Self-Governing Region for the 2026 elections. His platform focused on preventing youth outflow and creating jobs through regional potential. During this period, he also proposed various ministry mergers to assist with state budget consolidation.
Following the election, Migaľ lost his bid for the chairmanship to incumbent Milan Majerský. Despite the loss, Migaľ stated he would continue his political activity, noting that he received five times more votes than in previous parliamentary elections. He described the result as a “great warning” and a “very large raised finger,” specifically citing the rise of an extremist runner-up. Migaľ pledged to continue supporting the Prešov region through his ministerial duties.
