National Councilor Samira Marti (BL, 29) and National Councilor Samuel Bendahan (VD, 43) have put themselves forward as candidates for the co-chairmanship of the SP party. For the two SP members, the collaboration was obvious, Bendahan said in an interview with Tamedia.
When party chairman Roger Nordmann (VD, ) announced his resignation at the beginning of June, it was soon clear to Marti and Bendahan that they wanted to be his successor. “And even faster that we want to do it together,” Bendahan said in a joint interview with Marti on Saturday’s Tamedia newspapers.
They sit next to each other in parliament and both sat on the Economic Committee, says SP vice-chairman Bendahan. Marti also emphasized their differences: there are 15 years between them. Bendahan grew up in a town in western Switzerland, Marti in a village near Basel.
The faction decides on September 1 on Nordmann’s successor. If Marti and Bendahan were elected to the top of the group, they would form the first co-group presidency, as Tamedia wrote. The party presidency is already a collaboration. Shared management positions have emerged in the private sector, Marti said. Now it is the turn of Swiss politics.
Born in 1994, the bidder from Basel is currently the vice-chairman of the parliamentary group. Recently, political observers said she had what it takes to become a federal councillor. It was also rumored that she might be nominated in advance as Nordmann’s successor. (SDA)
