Somnium Space announced on Twitter its partnership with Karel Janecek to conduct his 2023 Czech presidential campaign in the metaverse. The tweet was later retweeted by Sandeep, co-founder of Polygon (MATIC) and founder of Crypto Relief, hinting that more presidential candidates might soon follow suit. As the metaverse rapidly gains popularity, it seems poised to become a new platform for reaching audiences, especially younger voters.

Sandeep's retweet suggested that presidential campaigns moving to the metaverse could become a trend. The upcoming Czech election will attract global attention, not only for selecting a new president but also for potentially setting a precedent for digital campaigning. Karel Janecek, a dynamic and youthful candidate, is expected to leverage this technology to connect with the younger electorate.
