Aftermath

ANO 2011 originally intended to form coalition with Ostravak and refused to negotiate with ČSSD. ANO negotiated with OStravak, KDU-ČSL and ODS.[3] Negotiations were unsuccessful and Ostravak agreed to form coalition with ČSSD and KSČM.[4] This coalition broke quickly afterwards giving ANO 2011 new opportunity.[5] Coalition was finally formed between ANO, ČSSD and KDU-ČSL and leader of Ostravan ANO Tomáš Macura became new Mayor.[6]

Coalition ruled Ostrava until December 2015 when ĆSSD and KDU-ČSL left the coalition. ANO 2011 the formed new coalition with ODS and Ostravak.[7]
