Jositsch waved away coolly: “That is a shame for the faction in Zurich”

The blow is brutal. Zurich SP state councilor Daniel Jositsch (58) received only four votes in the battle for first place on the SP two-person ticket. Four votes. Although the delegation from Zurich alone has nine people. The Zurich Gspänli left their own candidate hanging, even though he had defended the SP seat in Stöckli in the canton of Zurich with more than 230,000 votes. In the race for the second ticket place, things went only slightly better: Jositsch received no fewer than nine of the 49 votes this time. But again he was kicked out first.

“Daniel Jositsch does not deserve to be punished in this way by the parliamentary group,” says Priska Seiler Graf (55), co-chairman of the SP-Zürich, in the “Sonntagszeitung”. But it was not just the parliamentary group, it was the people of Zurich themselves who dropped their own candidate. “Deserving members should not be punished in this way,” said a non-Zurich SP woman. “This is a shame for the group in Zurich.”

Jositsch: “No comment”

No wonder Jositsch left there on Saturday with regrets. “No comment” was all he would say after the meeting. He has not yet responded to further questions from Blick.

There will only be an automatic response via email: “Thank you for your message. I am currently receiving a lot of questions, I will be happy to contact you at the right time.”

SP woman loses again

Evi Allemann (45) also leaves the field as a loser. Even though regional reasons spoke against the Bernese this time, as SVP man Albert Rösti (56) already has a Bernese member in the Federal Council. She ran for office for the second time and missed the nomination twice – albeit narrowly.

To the annoyance of SP women’s leader Tamara Funiciello (31), who had campaigned for Allemann. “It’s a missed opportunity,” she tells Blick. “Not only because we had an excellent candidate, but also because after 174 years of a male majority, the time was right to give a female majority a chance.”
