Her candidacy was supported by a 20 deputies. Deputies who supported her candidacy came from the ČSSD (Jiří Běhounek, Jan Birke, Jan Hamáček, Roman Onderka, Antonín Staněk, Lukáš Vágner), the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (Hana Aulická Jírovcová, Stanislav Grospič, Květa Matušovská, Zdeněk Ondráček, Daniel Pawlas, Ivo Pojezný, Jiří Valenta), ANO 2011 (Jiří Bláha, Pavel Juříček, Barbora Kořanová, Přemysl Mališ, Pavel Plzák, Miloslava Rutová) and from Unified – Alternative for Patriots (Ivana Nevludová). She submitted her candidacy by e-mail on 20 October 2021. She stated she submitted her candidacy so early due to the health problems of President Zeman, but she stated on the candidate list that she is submitting it by the proper date in 2023. The list of candidates was thus submitted on the day when all the nominating MPs expired (it was documented in writing only the next day). The submission was made even before the announcement of the presidential election on 27 June 2022. The Ministry of the Interior did not begin the process of registering her candidate list for the election of the President of the Republic until 21 October 2021, as the signed legislators were still exercising their mandate at the time of the submission of the candidate list. Ministry of Interior confirmed her registration on 25 November 2022. This was criticized by constitutional lawyers Jan Kysela and Jan Wintr, referring to the premature submission of the candidate list even before the announcement of the election date. Group of senators filed a complaint against her registration to the Supreme Administrative Court and demanded Rohanová's exclusion from the presidential election. On 13 December 2022, the electoral senate of the Supreme Administrative Court unanimously excluded her from the presidential election. Rohanová stated that she will appeal to the Constitutional Court. Her electoral preferences hovered around 1% in opinion polls. References
