In a decade, the Jura will know its 24th minister, who will complete the team following the withdrawal of the radical Jacques Gerber. A configuration which will prevail for one year in principle, until the verdict of the cantonal elections of October 2025.
Should we expect a surprise on November 24, like those of 1993 (loss of socialist and radical seats) or 2020 (the PS had won a PDC mandate)? If the countryside is calm, the games remain open. Logically supported by the right-wing forces who remain discreet about their support, the centrist Ajoulot Stéphane Theurillat seems to be favored by the odds. His election would allow the Government to remain more or less on its current political axis, with a centrist rather to the right who replaces a PLR. But Pauline Godat, Green candidate vigorously supported by the entire left, has perhaps not said her last word. His appointment would shift the Government’s political center of gravity radically to the left. The ultimate surprise would be the election of Pascal Prince, but it must be admitted that his train of voters will struggle to be sufficiently full to lead him to victory.
Will the Jura residents dare to change towards a greener, more left-wing Government with a female majority? In terms of regional representation – an element which weighs too heavily in our opinion – the arrival of Stéphane Theurillat would see an Ajoulot replace an Ajoulot. An election of Pauline Godat would give a second seat to Franches-Montagnes. A prospect that could give David Eray a run for his money in a year if he were to run again, he who has always capitalized on his Taignon origins.
