Prague Together (Czech: Praha sobě|lit=Prague for itself) is an association of independent candidates in Prague. It was created for the 2018 Prague municipal election by KDU-ČSL MP Jan Čižinský. The main representatives are Adam Scheinherr and Hana Třeštíková. It was created on the basis of a similar initiative Czech: Praha 7 sobě, which in 2014 won the elections to the municipal council of the Prague 7 district. The association is made up of active citizens, tries to connect with local associations and "to present itself as a principled alternative to the existing municipal establishment with the aim of winning the elections."[1] For the 2022 Prague municipal election it was turned into a political party.[2]
On 12 December 2017, the group announced that it intended to collect 100,000 signatures,[3] which would allow it to run as an association of independent candidates under the Act on Municipal Council Elections.[4] The motto of the petition was "A Prague that you can sign up for" (Czech: Praha, pod kterou se můžete podepsat.)
Prague Together eventually collected 97,095 signatures and launched its campaign for the 2018 Prague municipal election based on volunteers.[5] Prague Together received 16.57% of votes finishing third.[6] [7] The movement then became part of the governing coalition in Prague.[8]
Prague Together tried to collect 100,000 signatures for the 2022 Prague municipal election but failed having gathered only 92,565 signatures and thus ran as a political party.[9] The party finished 4th, with 14.73% of the vote.[10]
A leadership election for Prague Together was held on 13 March 2024, incumbent leader Čižinský declined to run, while received 27 votes against Petr Zeman's 10 and became the new leader.[11]
