Karel Linhart (National Unity Party)Linhart was born in 1971, just five years before the collapse of the communism in the country. He graduated the Military School in Poštnice and was commissioned as Sub-lieutenant in the Ground Force. In the military, he got into multiple conflicts with senior officers because of his purported insubordination. He left the Armed Forces in 1994 when he inherited a large sum of money from one of his relatives living overseas and used it to fund the creation of his own private security agency called 'SOKOL'. Despite various reports of human rights abuses perpetrated by its operators, SOKOL enjoyed moderate financial success.
In 2010s Linhart became a major opponent of the liberal policies of the national government, especially in regards to immigration and LGBT. This also marks the time when he joined the Christian Democratic Party. Once again Linhart got into conflicts with his superiors, this came to a head in 2015 when he left the Christian Democrats and founded his own National Unity Party. The NUP soon took over the CDP's electorate and became the new dominant right-wing political group. Outside of being socially right-wing on all issues, from women's place in society to climate change, Linhart is the strongest supporter for centralization and wishes to limit the autonomy of local governments.

Anna Jicova (Liberal Democratic Party)Anna Jizcova is the current Prime Minister of the Raditian Republic. Born in 1959, seventeen years before the fall of the socialist state, she gained an economics degree at the Chernogorod University. Generally seen as a career politician, Jizcova was a member of many Raditian governments. She held the post of Minister of Business and Employment and later became the Minister of Finance, before ascending to the position of the head of government.
She generally emphasizes the role of the free market when it comes to economic development and limited government intervention. This does not mean she has a completely hands off approach, as she believes a healthy middle class is necessary for sustainable growth. As such, she provides a general level of economic assistance to small business and self-employed, and fights monopolization. When it comes to social issues, she takes a liberal stance on most issues but leaves most of the decisions up to the provincial governments. As far as the foreign affairs are concerned she is a non-interventionist who wants to keep Raditia from the world scene.

Prokop Šrámek (Raditian Labour Party)Šrámek is the oldest candidate as he was born during the 1954. His father was a loyal apparatchik which secured him a college education. After Šrámek graduated in economics, he gained a minor administrative position at the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry. For some time he continued his work at various administrative posts as a civil servant, before joining the Raditian Labour Party prior to the 2004 election and later served as the Minister of Social Protection during the subsequent Labour administration.
He is seen as the main moderate of the RLP, especially when it comes to the economics where he believes that both state and market forces are necessary. Nevertheless he still favours expansion of government investments into healthcare, education and other areas of 'national interest'. He also proposes the introduction of a national level of universal basic income program. When it comes to social issues, he is more open to over-rule local governments when it comes to ensuring 'equity for every Raditian citizen'. As far as foreign affairs, Šrámek is the most skeptical of SACTO's role in Kryvia.
