Miroslav Ušatý is the mayor of Albrechtice nad Vltavou. In October 2026 he ran for the Senate for Svobodní in constituency no. 12 – Strakonice.[1]
According to ČT24, he received more than a fifth of the votes in the first round and finished second. The incumbent senator Tomáš Fiala (Naše Česko) won with 55.41 percent of the votes, so no second round was needed. Fiala ran for ODS in 2020 and for the Naše Česko movement in 2026, which was founded by the South Bohemian governor Martin Kuba.
