National Coalition / Independent Candidates (NK/NEKA; Template:Lang-sk), formerly known as Party of Democratic Slovakia and National Coalition, is a Slovak conservative political party founded in 2014 by the former politician of the ĽS-HZDS movement Sergej Kozlík. The party profiles itself in three pillars – national, Christian and social. Since 2023, Pavel Zacharovský has been the chairman of the party. Before the 2020 parliamentary election, the National Coalition joined an electoral coalition with the far-right People's Party Our Slovakia party, but did not win any mandate in the National Council.[3]
History
In the 2019 presidential election, the party expressed support for Štefan Harabin.[4] In the 2019 European Parliament election, Štefan Harabin's nephew Slavomír Harabin ran for the National Coalition. The party received only 0.72% of the vote and did not win any seats.
In November 2019, the National Coalition became one of the small Slovak political parties that signed a memorandum on the cooperation of "pro-national and Christian forces" for the upcoming parliamentary elections with the People's Party Our Slovakia.[5] A de jure coalition was not created, the Kotleba party only freed up a certain number of seats on their candidate list for other parties.[3] NK received 10 places on the candidate list, with chairwoman Slavěna Vorobelová placed highest in 16th place. Thanks to receiving a higher number of preference votes, three other candidates were elected ahead of her, and she remained outside parliament, placing 19th overall after Danica Mikovčáková's mandate was given up as the first substitute.[6] Despite being a member of the Kotlebist coalition, the party did not win a seat in the National Council.
