Kamila Zlatušková

She is not a member of a party. In April 2026 she became lead candidate of a joint ODS, TOP 09 and independents ticket after Mayor Markéta Vaňková withdrew for health reasons. She is that ticket's candidate for Mayor of Brno in the 2026 municipal election.

Career

Zlatušková studied TV dramaturgy and screenwriting at the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts in Brno and earned a doctorate there in 2006; she also holds a bachelor's degree in political science and journalism from Masaryk University. She worked as a dramaturge and creative producer at Czech Television, founded the Serial Killer festival in 2018 and the Television Institute in 2020, and teaches at FAMU, where she has sat on the Academic Senate since 2025. Forbes listed her among the most influential Czech women in 2021.

Positions

Seznam Zprávy reports that she stands as a non-party candidate on the ODS and TOP 09 list, saying ODS is the strongest party and that this makes sense to her. She names democratic values, social policy, culture and Brno's international contacts as priorities, and supports the Meeting Brno festival of reconciliation with Sudeten Germans. She rejects suggestions that she is a figurehead for the party.
