Daniel Jositsch (57) should receive numerous votes on Wednesday. In the first vote for the successor of SP federal councilor Simonetta Sommaruga (62), the resident of Zurich is expected to receive several dozen protest votes. Because many are dissatisfied with the exclusion of men from the SP electoral map.
“A new dynamic may suddenly emerge,” even one national councilor speculates. The explosive thing about it: according to parliamentarians, Jositsch says he has been taken out of the game by his party so that he no longer has to abide by their rules. In other words, if Jositsch were elected as a wild candidate on Wednesday, he would accept the election.
Hardly any Mandarin
On Sinterklaas Day, the party leaders threaten to threaten councilors with a stick if they write Jositsch on their ballot paper. After all, all parties have promised to adhere to the official tickets.
For which of the two SP candidates they will vote, whether it is Eva Herzog (60, BS) or Elisabeth Baume-Schneider (58, JU), many FDP members, middle politicians and GLP members only decide when they are there be there on Tuesday. at the hearings.
The SVP candidates Albert Rösti (55, BE) and Hans-Ueli Vogt (53, ZH) are now appearing for the SP and the Greens, but also for the centre.
Basel in Bern
In the final sprint, every vote is fought for. Especially when it comes to the distance between the two women, it has to be tight. The Basel region sent a top-class trio to the Bundeshaus on Monday evening to wobble for Herzog. SP government chairman Beat Jans (58), middle government councilor Lukas Engelberger (47) and former Basel bidder SP state councilor Claude Janiak (74) invited for an aperitif.
“We want to leave no stone unturned and show that the entire Basel region is behind Eva Herzog,” says former member of the Kingdom Council Jans. “With her, urban Switzerland would get a vote in the Federal Council.” The whole region cheers for it.
Fever curve is high
Baume-Schneider caused the fever curve to rise. The black-nosed sheepherder scored points with the farmers.
And there is also lobbying from the Jura. Baume-Schneider himself could be seen in the lobby. While biting into an apple, she exchanged thoughts with Green national councilors.
The majority of the bets go to Herzog, but some believe Baume-Schneider has the ability to surprise.
The race seems to be over at the SVP. “Mr. Bundesrat!” Rusti was already welcomed by fellow party members. But competitor Vogt also held individual talks on Monday.
