The Czech Republic is not a two-party state, nor a multiparty free-for-all. It is a disciplined six-party arena where every vote matters, and every coalition reshapes Central Europe.
This concludes Part 6 of our series on Czech parties. Did you miss Parts 1–5? They cover the rise of the Communist Party’s remnants, the fall of the Social Democrats (ČSSD), regional movements in Moravia, and the history of party financing scandals. Subscribe for updates on the 2025 election.

Position in the Top 6: #6 – The liberal underdog
Ideology: Liberal conservatism, Pro-Europeanism, Fiscal responsibility
Leader: Markéta Pekarová Adamová (Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies)
TOP 09 is the party of Prague’s intellectual elite. It broke from ODS in 2009 over austerity excesses and anti-EU rhetoric. Today, it is fervently pro-Ukraine, pro-EU federalism, and pro-green transition. It polls just above the 5% threshold but wields outsized influence because its leader is the parliamentary speaker.
Why it’s #6: TOP 09 provides the ideological counterweight to SPD and ANO’s nationalism. In any future coalition, TOP 09 will demand NATO solidarity and climate action.
Key policy: Euro adoption by 2030; carbon neutrality by 2040; same-sex marriage full equality. The Czech Republic is not a two-party state,
As the Czech Republic moves toward the next election cycle, several "Number 2" figures are gaining prominence. These are the leaders who may soon define the political future:
The Right-Wing Disruptor
Leader: Tomio Okamura (Japanese-Czech, former tour guide) Position: Far-right / Hard Eurosceptic / Anti-immigration Nickname: “Czechs first”
What they are: SPD is the protest party turned permanent fixture. Led by the charismatic, controversial Tomio Okamura (he once suggested Czechia should leave the UN over migration quotas), SPD runs on a simple platform: direct democracy, referendums, and stopping Brussels. This concludes Part 6 of our series on Czech parties
Where they stand:
Why they are #3: SPD has solidified 9–12% of the vote, making them the kingmaker in any fractured parliament. They won’t join a coalition with ODS or ANO (mutual hatred), but they force mainstream parties to adopt tougher migration language.
Controversy: Some label them far-right due to rhetoric against Roma minorities and EU “dictatorship.” Okamura has been fined for comparing EU sanctions to Nazism.
Voter profile: Rural, lower education, angry at both ANO and ODS, young men.
