Overview

• ANO finished first with roughly 34.6–34.9% of the vote and about 81 of 200 seats, leaving it short of an absolute majority.
• Andrej Babiš said he will try to form a single-party government while opening talks with the Automobilisti and the SPD, with the SPD signaling possible external support for a minority cabinet.
• The SPD took about 8% and 15 seats and the Automobilisti won roughly 6–7% and 13 seats, while the far-left Stačilo! alliance failed to clear the 5% threshold.
• The incumbent Spolu alliance fell to around 22–23%, STAN polled near 11%, and the Pirate Party about 8–9%, leaving the outgoing coalition well short of a majority.
• Turnout rose sharply to about 73.6% compared with 2021, as analysts highlight potential recalibration of Ukraine and defense policy after Babiš criticized military aid, NATO spending, and the Czech ammunition initiative.
