In October 2009 he was the candidate of the Fidesz during the by-election in Pécs (Baranya County Constituency III), after MP László Toller, who had been in a coma, declared incapacitated. After three unsuccessful rounds, fourth time Kővári received a whopping 88.3% of the votes, however, only 11% of registered voters cast their ballots, less than half of the 25% required for the result to be binding. After that the MP position remained vacant.[3]
His local movement, the Alliance for Pécs Association (ÖPE) ran independently from the Fidesz during the 2014 local elections. Kővári was a non-partisan candidate for the position of Mayor of Pécs, but defeated by incumbent mayor Zsolt Páva.
