Background

ČSSD won the previous elections in 2008 in all regions. [3] Although it lost support in the months before the election, the party was still leading in polls, and the parties involved in the right-wing government were highly unpopular. The country had seen a long-term loss of confidence in established parties, with voters turning to non-parliamentary parties. Support appeared to be growing for the Communist Party, which had been isolated in Czech politics since the Velvet Revolution. [4]

Velvet Revolution democratization process in Czechoslovakia in 1989

The Velvet Revolution or Gentle Revolution was a non-violent transition of power in what was then Czechoslovakia, occurring from 17 November to 29 December 1989. Popular demonstrations against the one-party government of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia included students and older dissidents. The result was the end of 41 years of one-party rule in Czechoslovakia, and the subsequent dismantling of the planned economy and conversion to a parliamentary republic.
