The opposition parties won a majority in the Chamber of Deputies and agreed to form a coalition government with SPOLU leader Petr Fiala as the new prime minister. It was the closest legislative election in the history of Czech Republic. No opinion poll placed SPOLU in the first place prior to the vote. The result was a surprise victory for the liberal conservative alliance SPOLU, which received the highest number of votes, while the populist ANO received the highest number of seats.
ANO was front runner of the election, as it was polling first ahead of SPOLU and PaS prior election. Other parties in the Chamber of Deputies included SPD, TOP 09, STAN, and KDU-ČSL.īabiš ran again as leader of ANO, and the main opposition parliamentary parties formed two electoral alliances, SPOLU and Pirates and Mayors (PaS). The largest opposition party was the Civic Democratic Party (ODS), followed by the Czech Pirate Party. Following the 2017 Czech legislative election, the country has been ruled by a minority government consisting of ANO 2011 (ANO), led by prime minister Andrej Babiš, and the Czech Social Democratic Party (ČSSD), led by interior minister Jan Hamáček, with confidence and supply support from the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM) until April 2021. All 200 members of the Chamber of Deputies were elected and the leader of the resulting government is set to become the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic. Legislative elections were held in the Czech Republic on 8 and 9 October 2021.
