Roman Zarzycký's commanding position in the Plzeň mayoral market stems from ANO's decisive victory in the October 9–10 municipal elections, where the movement secured 31.69% of the vote and 18 of 47 council seats—its first outright win in the city. On October 11, ANO rapidly concluded a coalition agreement with STAN and the Pro Plzeň grouping (backed by KDU-ČSL), delivering 34 seats and a stable majority in the council that elects the mayor. Zarzycký, the incumbent since 2022, will retain the role with ANO holding five of nine council seats. The swift memorandum and planned coalition contract have consolidated trader consensus around continuity. Low-probability disruptions could arise only from an unforeseen breakdown in the new coalition before the formal council vote or a late internal party challenge.
