The third cabinet of Andrej Babiš is the current government of the Czech Republic. Following elections in October 2025, Andrej Babiš announced his intention to form a coalition government consisting of his party ANO, with Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) and Motorists for Themselves (AUTO).[1]
On 6 November 2025, Tomio Okamura from Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) was elected President of the Chamber of Deputies for the new parliament with 107 votes.[2] On 7 November 2025, Tomio Okamura President of the Chamber of Deputies, orderded the removal of the Ukrainian flag from the parliament building, which had been raised there since the start of Russia's invasion in 2022.

A vote of no confidence in the government was called at the request of the opposition. The motion was in response to the revelation of a conversation between Foreign Minister Macinka and the president's advisor Petr Kolář, which was interpreted by the president as blackmail and reported to the authorities. In the messages, Macinka sought to pressure the president into appointing the AUTO MP Filip Turek as the Minister of the Environment.[9] The vote took place on 4 February 2025.
