In the October elections, 16 percent of current members of the Chamber of Deputies are not seeking re-election. The highest number of these are from the coalition party KDU-ČSL. Only in the opposition SPD faction are all current members running again for a seat in the lower house of parliament. This is according to an analysis of the latest candidate lists published on the election website, carried out by the Czech News Agency (ČTK).
