The municipal elections scheduled for October 9–10 will select the 37-member city council that chooses the next mayor of Hradec Králové. Ten candidate lists are competing, including the incumbent coalition led by Pavlína Springerová (HDK and TOP 09) and the opposition ANO movement headed by Lukáš Fiedler. New alliances formed this cycle, such as Změna pro Hradec with Zelení and KDU-ČSL, Piráti with STAN, and several smaller groupings, fragmenting the field. Trader pricing shows Fiedler holding a modest edge consistent with ANO’s prior electoral strength, while Springerová remains competitive as the sitting mayor. The outcome hinges on final voter turnout and post-election coalition negotiations among the top lists, with limited recent polling or events creating clear separation.
