Background

Following 2021 Czech legislative election new President of the Chamber of Deputies will be elected at first meeting of the new Chamber of Deputies. Meeting would be called by President no later than 30 days following the election. If President doesn't call it then it will be held 30 day after election.[2] Legislative election was won by conservative alliance SPOLU ahead of populist ANO 2011. Liberal alliance Pirates and Mayors (PaS) came third while nationalist Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) was fourth.[3]

SPOLU and PaS agreed following legislative election that upcoming President would be a representative of upcoming governing coalition.[4] Marian Jurečka stated that SPOLU as a victor of legislative election will seek to get its representative to be the new President. Incumbent President Radek Vondráček stated that ANO 2011 will also nominate its candidate.[5] Deputy leader of ODS Zbyněk Stanjura confirmed on 12 October 2021 that SPOLU will nominate its candidate for President.[6] ANO 2011 leader Andrej Babiš announced on 12 October 2021 that his party decided to not nominate its candidate.[7] SPOLU announced leader of TOP 09 Markéta Pekarová Adamová on 19 October 2021. She also gained support of Pirates and Mayors[8] On 8 November 2021 ANO 2011 nominated Minister Karel Havlíček as its candidate.[9][10]
