In the Prague 18 municipal district, ANO, the ODS together with TOP 09, and the Náš domov Letňany group agreed on a coalition after the 2026 municipal elections. The coalition will not include the election winner, Zdravé Letňany. Mayor Zdeněk Kučera (ANO) announced this on Facebook on 20 October 2026 and confirmed that he would remain in office.[1][2]
Election result
Zdravé Letňany, supported by Praha sobě, the Czech Pirate Party, KDU-ČSL and the Greens, won seven seats. ANO finished second with five, the Spolu coalition (ODS, TOP 09) third with four, and Náš domov Letňany fourth with three. Jsme Letňany and STAN won two seats each.[1][2]
Coalition
The new coalition holds a narrow majority of 12 votes in the 23-member council. Until now the district had been run by a coalition of ANO, the ODS and TOP 09. Kučera said that Zdravé Letňany had also approached ANO, but no agreement was reached. For him it was important to continue with the existing partners and complete projects under way.[1][2]
According to reports, a coalition without the election winner is also forming in Prague 8 and Prague 5.[1][2]
