Incumbent Milan Majerský holds a commanding position in the Prešov Self-Governing Region governor race ahead of the October 24 vote, backed by a broad coalition of KDH, Hnutie Slovensko, SaS, Za ľudí, Kresťanská únia, and Progresívne Slovensko. Recent polls show him leading with 45–49 percent support against europarliamentarian Milan Mazurek of Republika at 29–32 percent, with remaining independent and minor-party candidates trailing far behind. Multiple withdrawals, including those by Judita Laššáková of Smer-SD and Monika Lešková of SNS who endorsed Mazurek, have consolidated opposition votes without closing the gap. Majerský’s record of road and bridge repairs plus infrastructure investment plans has reinforced his standing among key voter groups. A late surge by any challenger or unusually high turnout shifts could still alter the outcome in the final days.
