Martin Eštočák

He stood as an independent for mayor of Prešov in 2022 and kept his council seat. The sources found do not confirm a 2026 candidacy, so he is named among the possible contenders for the 2026 Prešov mayoral election, due on 24 October 2026.

Career

Eštočák works as a lawyer and sat on Prešov's city council before the 2022 municipal elections. In 2022 he ran for mayor as an independent, as part of the Prešovské h-LAVIČKY team that also put up candidates for the council. According to TASR, František Oľha won the mayoralty with 37.26 percent of the vote, and Eštočák did not win but was elected to the council as an independent.

Positions

In his 2022 campaign, as TASR reported it, Eštočák's priorities were a functioning city office, efficient public procurement, quality projects funded from EU money, a transport development concept, attention to urban planning and architecture, and greater self-sufficiency for the city. He also proposed advisory councils to the mayor and anti-corruption measures. He campaigned under the line that the citizen comes first.
