Page is still considering running for the Council of States, the statement said. The SVP Freiburg has not nominated anyone for the parliamentary elections on 22 October.
The party initially wants to try to regain a second seat in the National Council. The 62-year-old farmer Page from Châtonnaye has been a member of the National Council since 2015. Four years ago, SVP Freiburg lost its second seat in the large chamber with Jean-François Rime.
At the AGM, Page finished fourth, behind 35-year-old Flavio Bortoluzzi, 37-year-old Nicolas Kolly and 55-year-old Achim Schneeuwly. The names Roland Mesot, 61, Inès Roque, 46, and Chantal Tobler, 29, are also on the Freiburg SVP list. The canton of Friborg has seven seats in the National Council.
The General Assembly also authorized the party board to stand as a candidate for the parliamentary elections. The canton of Friborg has so far been represented in the small chamber by Johanna Gapany (FDP) and Isabelle Chassot (Die Mitte).
