Background

2023 election

At the previous election in January 2023, Petr Pavel was elected for his first term defeating former Prime Minister Andrej Babiš. [2] [3] His inauguration was held on 9 March 2023.

Since 2023 election

Fortuna made a list of odds for the 2028 presidential election soon after the 2023 election. Petr Pavel was viewed as front runner. Other potential candidates with a chance to win included Prime Minister Petr Fiala, Minister of Interior Vít Rakušan and President of the Senate Miloš Vystrčil. [4] Petr Pavel said on 6 March 2023 that he might not seek reelection, as he considers it "reasonable that a person remains in such an office for only one term". He added that when there are two presidential terms possible, the president could behave during their first term to be reelected, in order to enjoy their second term. [5] 2023 presidential candidate Danuše Nerudová confirmed her intention to run on 20 March 2023 stating "I hope that optimism to run again won't leave me in 5 years." [6]

On 8 March 2024 Pavel suggested for the first time that he might seek reelection. He stated that it would depend on the political and social situation and also on whether he had the support of his family. [7] [8]
