In the 2008 and 2013 presidential elections she unsuccessfully ran for the office as President of the Czech Republic.

In 2012, Czech media noticed that in a TV news report from June 1986, she passed a bouquet of roses to President Gustáv Husák, the Secretary-General of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia.

From 1989, Bobošíková presented TV programmes on politics and economics, spending most of her television career at Česká Televize (ČT).

She had already been an adviser to the chair of the Chamber of Deputies from 1999,[3] and continued her move into politics in 2004 by standing for the European Parliament, elected on the Independents ticket.

She led this electoral alliance in the 2009 European election under the name 'Sovereignty'; the list came fifth, winning 4.3% of the vote, just short of the 5% threshold for representation.
