Prague – In most statutory cities, the opposition movement ANO won this year’s municipal elections. Out of 13 regional cities, the movement of former Prime Minister Andrej Babiš has a certain victory in eight of them. In the remaining five regional cities, the governing parties have succeeded or are likely to succeed. In Prague, the group Together for Prague, consisting of ODS, TOP 09 and KDU-ČSL, won. In second place will probably be the ANO movement and the Pirates in third place. In Brno, the candidate Společné – ODS and TOP 09 won, in Pilsen the coalition Together – ODS, KDU-ČSL, TOP 09 and in Liberec the coalition of Mayors for the Liberec Region (SLK) with TOP 09 and KDU-ČSL.
