Dagmar Škodová Parmová holds a commanding position in the market for next mayor of České Budějovice following her Naše Česko movement’s decisive win in the October 9–10, 2026 municipal elections. The new grouping, formed after her and most former ODS councilors split from the party in late 2025, captured nearly 30 percent of the vote and 15 of 45 seats in the city assembly, far ahead of Občané pro Budějovice and STAN, ANO, and the sharply reduced ODS list. As incumbent primátorka and lead candidate, she has already begun coalition talks with potential partners while emphasizing continuity on local priorities such as transport, housing, and ongoing projects. Other named contenders, including leaders of smaller parties or factions, trail significantly, reflecting the limited leverage they hold in the post-election arithmetic and the trader consensus on her strong path to re-election.
