Tomáš Portlík

He has been mayor of the Prague 9 district since 2021, a Prague city councillor since 2018 and, since January 2026, first deputy chairman of ODS. He is the joint ODS and TOP 09 candidate for Mayor of Prague in the 2026 municipal election.

Career

Portlík was born in Prague on 20 August 1978. He studied media at Charles University's Faculty of Social Sciences and took a master's degree at Metropolitan University Prague. He held business roles from 2000 to 2021 and is the sole owner of a real-estate firm. An ODS member since 1997, he has sat on the Prague 9 council since 2006, served as its deputy mayor from 2010 to 2021 and has been its mayor since 2021. He joined the Prague city council in 2018 and became first deputy chairman of ODS in January 2026.

Positions

In an interview with Echo24, Portlík described his approach as governing without ideology. His stated priorities are transport that serves all users, housing construction with clear rules and accountability for developers, and education. He called the Spolu cooperation sensible in Prague, while saying ODS can stand alone, and argued that ODS must again deliver for right-wing voters. His 2026 campaign slogan is "Dám Praze tempo"; Seznam Zprávy reports that he runs jointly with TOP 09 and that his campaign uses a mint colour rather than ODS blue.
