Dagmar Škodová Parmová holds the strongest position in the race for mayor of České Budějovice following her movement Naše Česko’s victory in the October 2026 municipal elections, where it secured 29.6 percent of the vote and 15 of 45 seats in the city assembly. As the incumbent who led the winning ticket after switching from ODS to the new grouping founded by regional governor Martin Kuba, she now leads coalition talks with potential partners including STAN-linked lists and others. Viktor Lavička of ANO and smaller-party figures trail in implied probabilities, reflecting their parties’ lower seat totals and limited leverage in forming a majority. Negotiations, which must conclude within 30 days, will determine the final outcome amid standard post-election bargaining over program compatibility and council leadership.
