The 2022 Plzeň municipal election was held on 23 and 24 September 2022 as part of the nationwide municipal elections. The result was a narrow victory for Spolu which received highest number of votes but was tied with ANO 2011 by number of seats.[1] After the election ANO 2011 formed coalition with Czech Pirate Party and Mayors and Independents with Roman Zarzycký as the new Mayor.[2] New coalition was to be supported by 2 SPD members of the assembly but after disagreement of Piráti and STAN leadership they were replaced by PRO Plzeň.[3][4]

Background[edit]

Previous election was held in 2018. ANO 2011 has won the popular vote but tied with the Civic Democratic Party by number of seats.[5] Coalition formed after the election was formed on 15 October 2018 consisting ANO 2011, Civic Democratic Party, TOP 09 and Czech Social Democratic Party. Martin Baxa became the new Mayor.[6] On 17 January 2022 Baxa was replaced by Pavel Šindelář as Baxa became Minister of Culture.[7] Šindelář decided to not run for second term.
