Bohuslav Svoboda became the Mayor of Prague in 2023. He is also a doctor of gynaecology and obstetrics by profession. He was first elected the Mayor of Prague in 2010 with the Civic Democratic Party, succeeding Pavel Bem. Svoboda formed a governing grand coalition with the Czech Social Democratic party, sparking protests in Prague.
In 2011, he was rated as the worst local leader in the Czech Republic. Yet, he gradually improved his position and in 2013 became the best-rated mayor in the Czech Republic. He was removed through a vote of no confidence in May 2013, seeding the position to his former 1st deputy, Tomáš Hudeček.
After the vote, the Civic Democratic party moved to opposition after 22 years of governing Prague.
In 2014, Doctor Svoboda ran for Mayor of Prague again but was unsuccessful. He also ran for the District Council of Prague 2 where he managed to win. In 2018 he ran for the third time as the main candidate of the Civic Democratic Party and while they did win the biggest share in the election, it was not enough for an outright majority, leading to the Mayorship of Zdeněk Hřib of the Pirate Party.
Following the 2022 municipal elections and five months of talks to form a coalition, on 16 February 2023 Bohuslav Svoboda was once again picked as the mayor of the Czech capital. Former mayor Zdeněk Hřib will be deputy mayor.
