Petr Pavel (Czech: [ˈpɛtr̩ ˈpavɛl]; born 1 November 1961) is a Czech politician and former army general who has been the president of the Czech Republic since 2023. He previously served as Chairman of the NATO Military Committee from 2015 to 2018, and as the Chief of the General Staff of the Czech Armed Forces from 2012 to 2015.
Born in Planá to a military family, Pavel enlisted right after graduating from high school in 1983. He served in the Czechoslovak People's Army and joined the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in 1985. Following the Velvet Revolution and the subsequent dissolution of Czechoslovakia, Pavel served in the newly established Czech Army and participated in the evacuation of Karin Base in Croatia, which earned him praise and international recognition. Pavel rose through the ranks of the military to become the Chief of the General Staff of the Czech Armed Forces from 2012 to 2015. He was subsequently selected as Chairman of the NATO Military Committee between 2015 and 2018, becoming the first military officer from the former Eastern Bloc to hold the post. He retired from the military after 44 years and was discharged with honors after his term expired.
In 2021, Pavel announced his presidential bid in the 2023 election. He ran on a platform of closer cooperation with NATO allies, support for Ukraine and greater involvement in the European Union. He embraced a hawkish stance on Russia and China. Pavel won the first round of the election with 35 percent and went on to win the runoff against Andrej Babiš with 58 percent of the vote, to become the fourth president of the Czech Republic and 12th president since the Czechoslovak declaration of independence. Pavel will be inaugurated on 9 March 2023, succeeding Miloš Zeman. He will become the second president with a military background (after Ludvík Svoboda) and the first without political experience.

Andrej Babiš (Czech pronunciation: [ˈandrɛj ˈbabɪʃ]; born 2 September 1954) is a Czech politician and businessman of Slovak descent who served as the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic from 2017 to 2021. Babis previously served as the Minister of Finance and deputy Prime Minister from 2014 to 2017 in Bohuslav Sobotka's Cabinet. He has been the founding leader of the political party ANO 2011 since 2012. On 30 October 2022, Babiš announced his candidacy in the 2023 Czech presidential election.During a lengthy business career, he became one of the richest people in the Czech Republic, with an estimated net worth of about $4.04 billion according to Bloomberg. He is the owner of the Agrofert holding company, one of the country's largest firms.Babiš was appointed Prime Minister on 6 December 2017, after ANO 2011 emerged as the largest party at the 2017 Czech legislative election. He was the oldest and wealthiest person ever to become Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, as well as the first from a different party than the Civic Democratic Party or ČSSD. Babiš is also the first Prime Minister born outside the Czech Republic, the first to hold dual citizenship, and the first whose native language is not Czech.
Babiš's term as Prime Minister in office was marked by legal disputes with the European Commission due to accusations of conflict of interest and allegations of EU subsidy fraud, as well as an informal power alliance with President Miloš Zeman and the Communist Party. His government increased pensions, child tax credits and public sector salaries. Major political events of his term include the expulsion of over 80 Russian diplomats and resident spies following the disclosure of Russian involvement in the 2014 Vrbětice explosions, and the COVID-19 pandemic, which killed more than 35,000 people in the Czech Republic, triggering criticism of the government's response. Babiš was succeeded as Prime Minister by Petr Fiala on 17 December 2021, following the 2021 election.
Following allegations that an anonymous company he controlled unlawfully received a €2M subsidy from the European Regional Development Fund, Babiš was investigated by both the Czech police and the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) from 2015 to 2017. He was stripped of his parliamentary immunity and formally charged on 9 October 2017. His trial began in Prague in September 2022. Babiš has received sustained criticism from political opponents and the media over a number of issues, including alleged conflicts of interest, his past role in StB, and allegations of intimidation of opponents. Nonetheless, he remains one of the most popular politicians in the Czech Republic.
