The Free Voters of Saxony are bringing new momentum to the political landscape: by selecting their direct candidates for the district of Leipzig, they are sending out a clear signal for the upcoming state elections. On January 26, 2024 in Nimbschen, the Leipzig Land district association presented a selection of experienced and committed individuals who stand for the party's values and goals.
Experienced candidates for a strong district
Jörg Zetzsche, Mayor of Regis-Breitingen, will enter the race in constituency 21. Dr. Adalbert Rösch, a renowned gynaecologist, is running in constituency 22. Thomas Schumann, a business administrator and city councillor from Wurzen, is running in constituency 24, while the party's best-known face, Matthias Berger, Mayor of Grimma and designated top candidate, is standing for election in constituency 23.
The selection of candidates reflects the political situation described in the Interview with Thomas Weidinger strategy outlined above: a policy that is geared towards the needs of citizens and free from ideological considerations. Weidinger's emphasis on fact-oriented politics and anchoring in municipal structures is reflected in the CVs of the candidates. Each brings their own expertise, which should enable the Free Voters to manifest their municipal strength at state level too.
