Parliamentary elections were held in Slovakia on 29 February 2020 to elect all 150 members of the National Council.

The anti-corruption list led by Ordinary People and Independent Personalities (OĽaNO) movement emerged as the largest parliamentary group, winning 53 seats. The ruling coalition comprising Direction – Social Democracy (SMER–SD), the Slovak National Party (SNS), and Most–Híd (MH), led by Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini of SMER–SD, won only 38, with both the SNS and MH losing their parliamentary representation. It was the first time since the 2006 elections that SMER–SD did not emerge as the party with the most seats.

As no party or electoral coalition won a majority of seats, a coalition government was needed.[1][2][3][4] On 13 March, Matovič announced he had reached an agreement for a governing coalition with We Are Family (SR), Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) and For the People (ZĽ), though they had not agreed upon a common governing program. On 21 March, President Zuzana Čaputová appointed Matovič's Cabinet.
