According to political scientists, the ruling coalition should remain in power until the regular date of the parliamentary elections, which are expected in autumn 2027. Early elections remain in play, but current developments, according to their estimates, do not point to an imminent end of the government. Nový Čas ↗

The coalition currently has the support of 75 MPs. Nevertheless, political scientists expect the government to be able to continue functioning and to govern until the regular elections. According to available assessments, the mere number of MPs supporting the government does not automatically have to lead to an early end of the electoral term.

Political scientist Aneta Világi stated that the government's continuation in power remains primarily in the hands of Prime Minister Robert Fico and his party, Smer-SD. It is the strongest party in the ruling coalition, and its stance will be decisive for the cabinet's further functioning, she said. teraz.sk ↗

An early end of the government therefore remains a possibility, but not a scenario that political scientists currently consider the most likely. What will be decisive is whether the coalition retains the necessary support in parliament and whether political disagreements among its partners do not deepen.

If the balance of power in parliament does not change significantly, Robert Fico's government should continue until the regular parliamentary elections in autumn 2027. According to current estimates, any potential shortening of the electoral term would be decided mainly by the prime minister and the strongest coalition party, Smer-SD.
