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. In reaction, the opposition Civic Democratic Party (ODS) and Pirates hung Ukrainian flags from their club windows.[3]

The list of ministerial candidates was presented to President Petr Pavel on 26 November 2025,[4] and the cabinet was sworn in on 15 December 2025.[5]
