Trend result in Hesse: CDU strongest force in local elections
During the night, the state returning officer announced the trend result for Hesse. Nationwide, as with the Local election 2021, the CDU is the strongest force. In second place: the SPD. The state results in detail:
- CDU: 29.7 percent
- SPD: 20.2 percent
- AfD: 15.9 percent
- Greens: 14.4 percent
- Left: 5.8 percent
- FDP: 3.7 percent
- Other: 6.6 percent
- Voter groups: 3.6 percent
Voter turnout was 54.4 percent, slightly higher than in the 2021 local elections (50.4 percent).
Also in In East Hesse, the CDU was able to defend its supremacy: In the district council elections in Fulda, the Christian Democrats won 42.8 percent of the list votes. In the city of Fulda, the CDU has 35.1 percent. The AfD was able to make significant gains and is in second place in the city (23.2 percent) and district (21.9 percent).
On Sunday evening, only the ballot papers were counted where list crosses were marked. All ballot papers that were cumulated and variegated will be counted starting today. Only then will it be clear which party will win how many seats and which candidates will sit in the district council or municipal parliament in the future. This means: After a local election, the days after the election – the “after-election week” – are almost more important than the evening of the election.
In Fulda, the electoral office assumes that the future distribution of seats in the city council will not be determined until Tuesday evening. Counting is carried out in this order: city council assembly (or local council), district council election, local council election, foreigners council election (in Fulda).
