Background

The Czech Pirate Party has been led by Ivan Bartoš since 2016. Under his leadership, they became the third largest party in the Czech Republic after the 2017 legislative election, with 22 seats.[1] Bartoš also led the party during the 2021 election, which the party contested as part of the Pirates and Mayors electoral alliance. Due to preferential voting, the Pirates received only 4 seats of the 37 seats won by the alliance. After the election, a part of the membership called for Bartoš's resignation.[2] The party joined the new government following the election.

Governor of Plzeň Region Rudolf Špoták announced candidacy on 7 November 2023.[3] The incumbent leader Ivan Bartoš announced candidacy on 4 December 2023.[4] Markéta Gregorová, member of European Parliament announced candidacy in December 2023 as a candidate of Pirates who want to leave the government.[5] Bartoš received 12 regional nominations while Gregorová 2. Former MP Vojtěch Pikal received 2 nominations[6] but in January 2024 announced that he won't run.[7] Špoták failed to receive any nominations thus dropped out of the race on 18 December 2023.[8]
