Gašparovič later admitted that he had not expect to qualify for the second round, and on first round election night he had gone home to sleep and only found out about his success when he was woken up by phone calls from friends. Incumbent president Rudolf Schuster finished fourth with just 7% of the vote. He subsequently retired from politics.
