How is the order of parties on the municipal election lists defined?
The order that the parties represented in the Walloon parliament occupied on the ballot paper during today’s municipal elections was determined on September 1, by drawing lots, in Namur. Ecolo had won number 1; Les Engagés number 2; PS number 3; the PTB number 4 and, finally, the MR number 5. However, these numbers have little impact, according to Paul Magnette, the president of the PS: “it doesn’t have much meaning when there are so few This can affect voters when there are 17 or 24 lists, but here, that is not the case. On the green side, we were delighted with number 1 as a symbolic number of renewal and first place. On the PTB side, this draw recalls the historic breakthrough of the party 6 years ago, where the same number was assigned to it. The Walloon minister-president of the MR, for his part, joked by explaining that the 5, in Roman numeral, represented the V of victory.
