The ODS executive council supported Miloš Vystrčil continuing in the role of Senate chairman. It recommended that the ODS and TOP 09 senate club nominate him again to lead the upper chamber of Parliament. Vystrčil expects that the senate faction will indeed nominate him. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The Senate elections brought significant changes in the balance of power. For the first time in the thirty-year existence of the Senate, candidates of the governing parties in the by-elections did not win a single seat. The result could thus influence future cooperation between the Chamber of Deputies, controlled by the governing coalition, and the Senate.
Vystrčil said that voters thereby gave Andrej Babiš a political report card. He also criticized his behavior in the role of leader. According to him, the election result raises the question of how the upper chamber will respond to the steps of the new parliamentary majority. irozhlas.cz ↗
ANO deputy chairman Radek Vondráček wants to negotiate a change to the Senate electoral system. The introduction of single-round elections is being considered. However, political scientist Roman Chytilek warned that such a system could lead to the election of candidates with low support and to the emergence of weak winners. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The elections also attracted considerable attention from the public and bettors. According to available data, a total of 3.6 million crowns was wagered on their results. The newly elected senators now face taking up their positions, and the Senate will have to address its future direction as well as its relations with the Chamber of Deputies. idnes.cz ↗
