Supporters of Czech Social Democratic Party leader Sobotka carry banner as they leave
Supporters of Czech Social Democratic Party (CSSD) leader Bohuslav Sobotka carry a banner as they leave a protest rally in front of the Prague Castle in Prague October 28, 2013. The Social Democrats leadership body voted by 20 to 13 to call on chairman and candidate for prime minister Sobotka to quit after the party won only 20.5 percent of the vote. But Sobotka vowed to fight on, saying his rivals, led by deputy chairman Michal Hasek, would be under the influence of President Milos Zeman, Sobotkas longtime rival and a former Social Democrat prime minister. The banner reads: " For Sobotka and democracy". REUTERS/David W Cerny (CZECH REPUBLIC - Tags: POLITICS CIVIL UNREST ELECTIONS TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY)

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by David W Cerny, supporters of Czech Social Democratic Party leader Bohuslav Sobotka are seen leaving a protest rally in front of the Prague Castle on October 28,2013. The atmosphere is charged with emotion as these dedicated individuals carry a banner that reads "For Sobotka and democracy". The image symbolizes the resilience and determination of Sobotka's followers despite facing adversity. It was taken after the Social Democrats' leadership body voted for Sobotka to step down following their disappointing election results, where they only secured 20.5 percent of the vote. However, Sobotka refuses to back down from his position as chairman and candidate for prime minister. He believes that his opponents, led by deputy chairman Michal Hasek, will be influenced by President Milos Zeman - a former Social Democrat prime minister and long-time rival of Sobotka. The photograph beautifully captures the unity among these supporters as they march together through an open space towards an uncertain future. Their silhouettes stand out against the backdrop of darkness while holding up their message for all to see. This image serves as a reminder that even in times of political turmoil, there are those who remain steadfast in their commitment to democracy and their chosen leaders. It showcases both patriotism and hope within the Czech Republic's political landscape during this critical moment in history.
