Summary/Abstract: Vlastimil Havlík and Michal Nový research the results of the elections according to electoral districts (i.e. regions) and political parties in the fifth chapter. They discuss that, much like four years before, the Social Democrats won the elections; however, they also point out that along withthe Civic Democrats, ČSSD lost a significant amount of electoral supportat the regional level between 2008 and 2012. On the other hand, the Communists became the second strongest party, increasing their support in all thirteen regions. As a result, the political landscape of the Czech Republic was altered. In the Carlsbad and Ústí nad Labem Regions, the KSČM even claimed the top spot. At the same time, in the Pilsen Region, ODS was successful by virtue of putting Jiří Pospíšil, the former Minister of Justice, at the top of the ticket.
