Czech Election Model Sparks Debate on Government Coalition’s Chances
A new election model is generating discussion in Czech political circles, with some suggesting it offers a path to victory for the current government coalition led by Prime Minister Petr Fiala. The elections are scheduled for October 3rd and 4th.
Analyst’s Optimistic View
Jura Haczek, a prominent commentator on X, has weighed in on the election model, expressing optimism about the coalition’s prospects. Haczek, who identifies as being “on the right side,” has been a vocal critic of the YES movement led by Andrej Babiลก.
Macinko, it fell to you, probably Turk …
No, we’re not a stupid nation. The more the elections are, the more people realize who is normal and who is clown.
Currently, 94 deputies are released on 5K mandates. When it gets enough, it’s at home.
Moreover, yes still strongly overvalued.

Haczek commented on the situation involving MEP Filip Turk, who faces accusations of physical violence. He also stated, โNo, we’re not a stupid nation. The more the elections are, the more people realize who is normal and who is clown.”
He believes that the YES movement is close to the 5% threshold needed to enter parliament, stating, โWhen it gets enough! It’s home.โ
He further predicts that Babiลก will not achieve his goal of a single-party government.
NMS Market Research Agency’s July Election Model
The July election model from NMS Market Research agency suggests the government coalition could gain 21.5% of the vote, an increase of almost two percent from June. This result could translate to 50 mandates for the ODS, TOP 09, and KDU-ฤSL parties.
Conversely, the YES movement experienced a decline of 1.8% in the July model, potentially winning 28.7% of the vote. In related news, a recent poll indicates that 68% of Czechs are concerned about the rising cost of living, which could influence voter choices (ฤeskรฉ noviny).
Other Parties’ Performance
The SPD, along with Tricolor, Free, and Movement for, saw a decrease in support, receiving 13.3% of the votes, 3.4% less than in June. This could result in 29 parliamentary seats. The STAN movement’s result remained stable at 12%, entitling them to 25 mandates.
The Pirates, in cooperation with the Green Party, improved their standing, gaining 7.9% in the model. This could secure them up to 17 seats in the House. “Enough!” also surpassed the 5% threshold, potentially gaining 10 parliamentary mandates.
The Motorists remain below the threshold at 3.2%. The Oath and SOCD would also fail to reach the House, with 3.2% and 2.2% respectively.
