Richard Vereš leads the market at 94.5% following ANO's victory in the October 9-10, 2026 municipal elections, where the movement secured 18 of 55 council seats. ANO promptly formed a coalition with Starostové pro Ostravu and Ostravak, commanding 37 seats and designating Vereš—previously a local mayor and ANO Ostrava leader—as the incoming primátor, with Aleš Boháč slated as first deputy. This swift agreement, announced October 18, has produced the current trader consensus reflected in the pricing. Remaining uncertainty centers on the formal council vote to install the mayor, where any breakdown in the coalition or procedural delays could still shift outcomes before resolution.
