STAN takes most seats, ANO wins none

The Mayors and Independents (STAN), an opposition movement, won 9 of the 27 seats. The allied Mayors for the Liberec Region won 1 more. The Civic Democratic Party (ODS), also in opposition, won 7. The Christian Democrats (KDU-ČSL) won 3 and TOP 09 won 2.

ANO 2011, the party of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, won no seat. It lost the one seat it defended, and none of its 13 runoff candidates won. In the runoff, STAN took 30.37% of the votes cast, ODS 22.15% and ANO 21.58%.

Turnout was 43.31% in the first round and 21.12% in the runoff.

What happens next

The State Election Commission was to meet on 19 October to confirm the results. Challenges can be filed with the Supreme Administrative Court from 21 to 30 October. The new senators are expected to take their oath in mid-November, after that period.

Opposition parties keep their majority in the Senate. The government is a coalition of ANO, the SPD and the Motorists. The lower house can override Senate vetoes. The Senate must approve constitutional changes and confirms the president's nominees to the Constitutional Court. It also elects its own speaker.

How the vote worked

The Senate is the upper house of the Czech parliament. A third of its 81 seats was up for election, each in a single-member district. A candidate needed more than 50% of the vote in the first round to win outright. Otherwise the top two met in a runoff.

Five candidates won outright in the first round on 9 and 10 October, held alongside municipal elections. The other 22 districts voted in runoffs on 16 and 17 October.
