Prague Together

Prague Together (Czech: Praha sobě, lit. 'Prague for itself') is an association of independent candidates in Prague. It was created for the 2018 Prague municipal election by KDU-ČSL MP Jan Čižinský. The main representatives are Adam Scheinherr and Hana Třeštíková. It was created on the basis of a similar initiative Praha 7 sobě, which in 2014 won the elections to the municipal council of the Prague 7 district. The association is made up of active citizens, tries to connect with local associations and "to present itself as a principled alternative to the existing municipal establishment with the aim of winning the elections."^[1] For the 2022 Prague municipal election it was turned into a political party.^[2]

Prague Together eventually collected 97,095 signatures and launched its campaign for the 2018 Prague municipal election based on volunteers.^[5] Prague Together received 16.57% of votes finishing third.^[6]^[7] The movement then became part of the governing coalition in Prague.^[8]
