Eva Nemčovská, the current deputy mayor running as an independent with backing from the Lepšia Trnava initiative and Progresívne Slovensko, holds a narrow lead in the Trnava mayoral race following Ľubica Horváthová’s October 9 withdrawal and endorsement, which consolidated support from the Demokrati and aligned parties. Branislav Baroš, backed by KDH and Trnava pre každého, remains the primary challenger in a field that also includes Andrea Čajková, Jozef Obselka, and Martin Pullmann with support from Smer-SD, Hlas-SD, SNS, and Republika. The October 24 municipal election remains closely contested due to vote fragmentation among independents and smaller parties, with limited recent public polling available. Final voter turnout and any last-minute candidate alignments could still shift outcomes before ballots close.
