Biography[edit]

He graduated from an agricultural university and subsequently worked as a technician, agronomist, and designer.[2]

In the 1996 elections, Ekert was elected to the Chamber of Deputies representing ČSSD (electoral district: West Bohemian Region).[3] He successfully defended his mandate in the 1998 and 2002 elections. From 1996 to 1998, he served on the agricultural committee, from 1998 to 2006 on the committee for European integration, and additionally, from 1998 to 2002, he was a member of the budget committee. Between 2000 and 2003, he acted as the deputy chairman of the ČSSD parliamentary group.[4][5][6]

In 2004, briefly before the European Parliament elections, Ekert served as a co-opted Member of the European Parliament until regularly elected representatives from the Czech Republic took office.[1] He ran as a candidate for ČSSD in the 2004 European Parliament elections but was not elected.[7]

Ekert was also involved in local politics. In the 1998 municipal elections, he unsuccessfully ran for the city council of Klatovy on behalf of ČSSD. He was successfully elected in the 2002 and 2006 municipal elections. As of 2006, he was professionally identified as the secretary to the deputy minister.[8]
