ANO led Czech election with 38%, no party won majority, coalition talks ahead.

In the Czech Republic's October 4, 2025, parliamentary election, Andrej Babis’s ANO party led with approximately 38% of the vote, according to early results, placing it ahead of the ruling Spolu coalition. Six parties, including ANO, STAN, the Pirates, Freedom and Direct Democracy, the Motorists, and the new Stacilo! movement, were projected to cross the 5% threshold needed for seats in the 200-member lower house. ANO, which opposes continued military aid to Ukraine and favors a "Czechs first" policy, is expected to seek coalition partners, potentially including the far-right Freedom and Direct Democracy party, which has faced scrutiny over pro-Russian online content. No party won a majority, so coalition talks will determine the next government.
