Tomáš Chovanec leads the market at 41.4% amid ongoing coalition talks following the October 2026 communal elections, where his HOPB/STAN alliance secured nine seats. Naše Česko won the most mandates at 15 under incumbent Dagmar Škodová Parmová but faces exclusion after other parties cited differences in political style, shifting the contest to negotiations among HOPB/STAN, ANO, Piráti, and Společně pro Budějovice. These groups hold enough seats for a narrow majority, positioning Chovanec as the frontrunner for mayor while Viktor Lavička and others factor into potential deputy roles. The spread across multiple candidates captures the fluid bargaining over leadership and portfolios, with outcomes hinging on final agreements in the coming days.
