Political career

Rakušan has been politically active since 2010, when he was elected in local elections in Kolín as a non- party for the electoral group Změna pro Kolín ("Change for Kolín") and was then elected mayor of the city. He presented himself (and the Změna pro Kolín association ) as a counterpoint to the established ODS , which was heavily burdened by corruption scandals shortly before the elections. In 2014 he repeated a success: the electoral community received 63.95 of the votes and Rakušan was confirmed in the office of mayor. He also confirmed this success in the local elections in 2018 with 62.82 percent of the votes (and another re-election as mayor).
