Background
Jan Hamáček was elected leader of the party in 2018 following devastating defeat in 2017 legislative election.[1] He was reelected in 2019. Under Hamáček's leadership ČSSD didn't stop its fall and suffered heavy defeat in 2020 regional and senate elections being reduced to 37 regional seats and 3 senate seats.[2][3]
Hamáček stated that consequences of party's defeat will be decided in January 2021 when party has a congress during which leadership election is held. He himself didn't rule out standing stating that he will decide in January 2021.[4][5] Election was initially scheduled for January 2021 but due to COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic was postponed to 9 April 2021.[6]
