The populist Smer-SD party is in the lead in a tight Slovak election, partial results showed on Sunday, despite exit polls predicting that their rival centrists Progressive Slovakia would come first.
With more than 80 percent of the vote counted, former Prime Minister Robert Fico's Smer-SD was at 23.7 percent, followed by Hlas-SD with 15.46 percent and Progressive Slovakia with 15.33 percent.
