The recently formed anti-corruption party led by a judge Mislav Kolakusic should take one seat.

Earlier this summer The Irish Times gave extensive coverage to reports that a number of people were going to establish a new anti-corruption party.

Dzyakevich, who has always voted for a mainstream party in the past, this time plans to back the tiny Eretz Hadasha, an anti-corruption party.
