Overview

• ANO finishes first with roughly 35–37% of the vote but falls short of an absolute majority, leaving government formation dependent on partners.
• Potential partners include the far-right SPD at about 8% and the Motorists around 6.8–7%, after Babiš ruled out working with parties from the outgoing government.
• Rivals trail well behind, with Spolu near 21–22%, STAN around 10–11%, and the Pirate Party about 8–9%, while Stačilo! fails to cross the 5% threshold.
• Final turnout reaches 73.6%, a notable increase from 2021 and a sign of heightened public engagement.
• Babiš has shifted right in opposition, criticizing the EU’s Green Deal and additional military support to Ukraine, and his election would restore parliamentary immunity amid past conflict-of-interest cases.
