Background[]

The Civic Democratic Party received highest number of votes in 2018 Prague municipal election but remained in opposition as coalition was formed by Czech Pirate Party, Prague Together, TOP 09 and Mayors and Independents. Zdeněk Hřib became the new Mayor.[1]

Preparations for next municipal election started following 2021 Czech legislative election which resulted in victory for allaince Spolu consisting of Civic Democratic Party, KDU-ČSL and TOP 09. Leaders of three parties then discussed continuing cooperation in upcoming municipal election. TOP 09 was also approached by Mayors and Independents who ran on common list with TOP 09 in 2018 municipal election.[2][3] On 25 January 2022 Civic Democratic Party, KDU-ČSL and TOP 09 agreed to continue cooperation under SPOLU platform for 2022 municipal election.[4] Pirate Party decided to nominate incumbent Mayor Zdeněk Hřib for reelection.[5] On 21 March 2022 Bohuslav Svoboda was reported to be electoral leader of SPOLU as Prague organisation of ODS confirmed its nomination for him. Other parties in SPOLU previously expressed their support for Svoboda.[6]
