Eelections in Czech

by Dr. Marco Arndt, Lenka Longuemart

The municipal and Senate elections in the Czech Republic on October 9 - 10 and 16 - 17, 2026: a success for the centrist parties

One year after the parliamentary election, the municipal and Senate elections served as the first statewide test of public sentiment for Prime Minister Andrej Babiš’s government. However, the prime minister’s party, ANO, was unable to replicate its success in the municipal and Senate elections. These elections were shaped less by foreign policy or social issues - which had dominated the parliamentary election - and more by individual candidates, local alliances, and local concerns, as well as by the concrete work of parties and politicians on the ground.
