Aftermath

Election was seen as a huge defeat for ANO 2011 as it won only in 3 districts despite strong showing in first round. It was also noted that Babiš' appeal to make the election a referendum about Petr Fiala's cabinet backfired on him as the governing coalition has won the election.[29][30][31][32] ODS led by Prime Minister Petr Fiala won highest number of seats and won the election. KDU-ČSL was also successful. Mayors and Independents on the other hand suffered heavy losses as it lost 5 of its 6 seats up for election. Czech Social Democratic Party once major left wing party also saw continuation of its decline as it failed to win any seat and was left with only one last Senator after the election.[33]

Jihlava district was most watched district as President of Senate Miloš Vystrčil was defending his seat there and leader of ANO 2011 Andrej Babiš strongly focused on the district. Despite Babiš' personal involvement Vystrčil received 60% against Nagyová's 40% and won by large margin. Notably turnout was much higher than in other districts.[34]

Prime Minister Petr Fiala stated after election that the result is a success for Spolu. He stated that he is especially pleased with Jihlava district result which he considers personal defeat for Andrej Babiš. He stated that Vystrčil' victory in Jihlava was symbolic stating that Vystrčil face whole power of ANO 2011. Fiala also noted result of his own party ODS which won 8 seats twice more than in 2016.[35] Andrej babiš admitted that the result was a disappointment and noted that some of his candidates lost narrowly. He stated that his party faced "after-November Cartel" in the election. Babiš also stated that despite defeat in Senate election his party won municipal election which was held along with first round.[36]

Analysis

Several political scientists including Terezie Wasserbauerová or Jan Tvrdoň contributed defeat of ANO 2011 in second round to a bad strategy by party leadership which wanted to make the election a referendum about governing coalition and focused campaign in Jihlava district and not in districts where the race was expected to be close.[37][38] Kamil Švec noted that ANO is losing Senate elections repeatedly in second round.[39] Josef Kopecký stated that election reminded ANO that two round election doesn't help it which is a warning for 2023 Czech presidential election.[40]
