Czechs are heading to the polls on Saturday in the second day of voting to elect local representatives as well as a third of the Senate's members, in what is being seen as a popularity test for Prime Minister Andrej Babiš.
Babiš, who previously served as PM from 2017 to 2021, returned to power after his ANO party sealed a strong win in parliamentary elections in October 2025. The ANO, which continues to hold a sizeable lead in opinion polls as the country's most popular party, formed a nationalist coalition government with the Motorists for Themselves (AUTO) and Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) parties.
