Stanjura was mayor of Opava between 2002 and 2010.[1] In the 2010 Czech parliamentary election, he was elected to the Moravian-Silesian Region from the fourth place of candidates.[2] Stanjura became chairman of the ODS parliamentary club on 11 May 2011.[3] He was named Minister of Transport in the Cabinet of Petr Nečas from 2012 until 2013.[4]
In the 2013 Czech parliamentary election, Stanjura ran in the Moravian-Silesian Region as the leader of the ODS.[5] Later that November, he was elected chairman of ODS Parliamentary Club.[6]
In the 2014 Czech municipal elections, Stanjura failed to defend the post of representative of the city of Opava.[7] During the 2017 Czech parliamentary election, he was leader of ODS in the Moravian-Silesian Region,[8] winning 3,648 preferential votes and defended his mandate as a deputy.[9] On 24 October 2017, Stanjura became the new chairman of ODS Parliamentary Club.[10]
In the 2021 Czech parliamentary election, as a member of ODS, Stanjura was the leader of the Spolu coalition,[11] elected as deputy again.[12] He also became the chairman of ODS Parliamentary Club,[13] but left the position in December and was replaced by Marek Benda.[14]
Stanjura took office as Minister of Finance after the 2021 elections. His stated aim as Finance Minister has been to implement spending cuts and to bring the fiscal deficit below 3 percent of gross domestic product.[15]
Stanjura won 477 votes at the 30th ODS Congress in April 2022, thus defending the position of first vice-chairman of the party.[16] Receiving 383 votes from 527 delegates, he also defended the position at the 31st Party Congress in April 2024.[17]
Stanjura claimed to have sold his third-party company Eskon in 2002, which its sole was his wife, Hana Malurová.[18] Aktuálně.cz relates the company's sale to the wife in connection with then-approved law on asset declaration, which ordered mayors to disclose their assets.[19]
