Czechia Legislative election 2025 — Results

Background

The Czech legislative election of 3–4 October 2025 returned Andrej Babiš to power. His ANO movement won a decisive victory with around 34.5% of the vote and 80 of the 200 seats, comfortably ahead of Prime Minister Petr Fiala's governing SPOLU coalition, and set about forming a government with smaller right-wing and populist partners after four years in opposition.

How the country is governed

The 200-seat Chamber of Deputies is elected by D'Hondt proportional representation in the 14 regions, with a 5% threshold (and higher bars for coalitions). The party or bloc able to command the Chamber's confidence forms the government, which the President appoints. The 2025 election was a verdict on Fiala's centre-right coalition, which had governed through the post-2022 energy shock, high inflation and deep spending restraint, and on Babiš's bid for a comeback amid continuing legal and conflict-of-interest controversies.

The run-up to the vote

Babiš campaigned hard on the cost of living, attacking the government's austerity, pension and tax changes and its strong support for Ukraine, and promising relief for households and pensioners. Fiala's SPOLU defended its handling of the crises and warned that an ANO-led government dependent on anti-system parties would endanger Czechia's pro-Western orientation. Newer forces reshaped the field: the right-libertarian Motorists (Motoristé sobě) surged, the Mayors (STAN) and Pirates competed for the liberal centre, and the hard-left Stačilo! alliance and the far-right SPD pressed the flanks.

The results in detail

ANO won 34.5% and 80 seats, a gain of eight. SPOLU finished second on 23.4% and 52 seats. The Mayors (STAN) took 11.2% and 22 seats, the Pirates 9.0% and 18, the far-right SPD-led list 7.8% and 15, and the newcomer Motorists 6.8% and 13. The hard-left Stačilo! alliance fell just short of the threshold and won no seats. ANO's dominance was geographic as well as numerical: it finished first in 13 of the 14 regions, with only Prague resisting and backing SPOLU.

After the vote

With 80 seats, ANO needed partners, and Babiš turned to the Motorists and the SPD to assemble a majority — a markedly more nationalist and Eurosceptic combination than any previous Czech government, raising questions about the country's stance on the EU, Ukraine and the rule of law. The result completed a striking pendulum swing in Czech politics: from Babiš's 2017 triumph, to his 2021 defeat by a united opposition, and back to power in 2025.
