Former Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek said on Thursday he would resign as head of the right-wing Civic Democratic Party, just two months before a general election.
He told reporters he would resign from his post after an April 12 meeting of party leaders.
Topolanek already quit as the party's leading candidate last week after a series of gaffes and scandals that have alienated his party colleagues and damaged its standing before the vote.
