The right-wing opposition is the clear favourite according to polls, with the far right -- by allying itself with the PP -- possibly returning to power for the first time since the end of the Franco dictatorship almost half a century ago.

Pavel, 61, served as the chief of the Czech general staff and chair of NATO's military committee and is a former paratrooper decorated as a hero of the Serbo-Croatian war. He is facing a billionaire and an academic in a likely two-round vote seen as too close to call. IMAGES
