Overview

• Near-final tallies show ANO at roughly 34–36% versus 22–23% for Petr Fiala’s Spolu, with STAN, Pirates, SPD and Motorists also winning seats.
• Andrej Babiš says he will seek a single-party or minority cabinet and will court SPD and the Motorists for support.
• President Petr Pavel begins consultations on Sunday and has indicated he may reject nominees who advocate anti‑EU or anti‑NATO positions.
• Babiš campaigned to curb or repackage Prague’s shell‑procurement drive for Ukraine and to redirect resources toward domestic priorities.
• Government formation faces added constraints from Babiš’s conflict‑of‑interest obligations and his ongoing EU subsidy fraud trial, which he denies.
