2025 elections in the Czech Republic

Parliamentary elections were held in the Czech Republic on 3 and 4 October 2025, to elect all 200 members of the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of the Czech Parliament. The incumbent centre-right government of Petr Fiala was defeated after one term, with the populist ANO led by former prime minister Andrej Babiš returning to power as the largest party in parliament. The parties that formed the previous government lost their majority but performed better than polling suggested, winning 92 seats after being projected to win only 62–70 seats. ANO also performed better than expected, while the far-right Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) performed worse than expected based on polling. The left-conservative Stačilo! failed to enter Parliament. Babiš went on to form a coalition government with SPD and another right-wing party, Motorists for Themselves (AUTO). He was appointed prime minister for a second time on 9 December.
