In a significant political event, Jana Mračková Vildumetzová, representing the ANO movement, has been re-elected as the Governor of the Karlovy Vary Region. The regional assembly confirmed her leadership during its inaugural session, where she secured 30 votes from the 43 members present. This marks her second term in this role, having previously served from 2016 until her early departure in 2019.
The ANO party, which holds a strong position with 28 out of 45 seats in the assembly, supported her candidacy. Additional backing came from the Volba pro kraj movement, although representatives from parties such as ODS, STAN, and SPD abstained from voting. Following the election, Vildumetzová expressed her commitment to advancing the region's interests and emphasized the necessity of collaboration between regional and national levels.

Under her leadership, the region will pursue various projects, including the establishment of a new tertiary educational institution by 2027. The newly formed regional council, comprised solely of ANO members, will focus on economic development, transport improvements, and healthcare enhancements. Martin Hurajčík, Petr Kubis, and other appointed councillors will head critical sectors to drive these initiatives forward.
Mračková Vildumetzová highlighted that, despite plans for progressive projects, careful budgeting would be crucial due to unmet revenue expectations this year. Upcoming priorities include a thorough review of the regional budget and evaluating ongoing projects initiated by her predecessors.
This political move reflects ANO's continued dominance in regional politics following their success in recent elections, where opposition from coalition parties remains present but less impactful.
