List of political parties in the Czech Republic
This is a list of political parties in the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic has a multi-party system. Due to the electoral system used, a limited number of parties are successful in each parliamentary election.
Parliamentary parties
There are currently eleven parties in the Chamber of Deputies (the lower house) with more than one seat – ANO 2011, the Civic Democratic Party (ODS), Mayors and Independents (STAN), the Christian and Democratic Union – Czechoslovak People's Party (KDU-ČSL), Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD), Motorists for Themselves (AUTO), TOP 09, the Czech Pirate Party (Pirates), Mayors for the Liberec Region (SLK), Svobodní, and the Green Party (Zelení). All of these parties except SPD and AUTO also have at least one seat in the Senate (the upper house). Senator 21 (SEN 21) have four seats in the Senate but no seats in the Chamber of Deputies. Tricolour and Law, Respect, Expertise each hold a single seat in the Chamber of Deputies but no seats in the Senate. The Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM) hold no seats in the Chamber of Deputies or the Senate but do have one elected member of the European Parliament and have elected representatives at the regional level.
The only party to have had members elected to every Parliament since the dissolution of Czechoslovakia is ODS.
The most recent parliamentary election was held on 3–4 October 2025.
