In the aftermath of the announcement of the resignation of the Geneva State Councilor Antonio Hodgers, the national councilor Nicolas Walder is a candidate for the candidacy at the Vert-Es. MP UDC Lionel Dugerdil also started.
“I want to become a state councilor. I said it to Antonio Hodgers already at the end of his second term, when he hesitated to represent himself,” said Nicolas Walder in an interview published on the site of the Genève Tribune. He also expressed himself on the Blue Lake Plateau.
Nicolas Walder is the first candidate for the candidacy to declare himself to the Green-Es, who intend to keep the siege of Antonio Hodgers. Among the other names circulating among the Vert-Es are those of the national councilor Delphine Klopfenstein Broggini and the president of the Maryam Yunus Ebener party.
-UDC candidate also declared
The UDC also targets Antonio Hodgers’ chair. Thursday, the president of the Cantonal Party, the deputy for the Grand Council Lionel Dugerdil declared himself a candidate for the candidacy in an interview published on the site of the time. The parties have until June 23 to submit applications to the votes and elections department.
The Geneva Council of State set the date of the first round of the complementary election on Sunday, September 28, which will have to designate the person who will occupy the seat vacant by Antonio Hodgers to the cantonal executive. A possible second round will take place on Sunday October 19.
