Zurich. GLP nominates Galladé and Scherrer for Zurich government elections.
The GLP of the canton of Zurich nominates the former national councilor Chantal Galladé and the former president of the cantonal council Benno Scherrer for the race for the first green-liberal government council seat.
Galladé and Scherrer were proposed by the search committee, as the GLP of the canton of Zurich announced on Tuesday evening. The GLP board has now nominated both candidates. The members will decide on the candidacy on June 28, 2022.
The board of directors wanted to enable the general meeting to make a selection. Nicola Forster, Co-President of the GLP Canton Zurich, explained the decision of the Board of Directors that the members should be able to have a say in certain decisions.
Scherrer and Galladé won over the Executive Board with their many years of political experience, their optimism for progress and their will to shape political rifts. 57-year-old Scherrer is a vocational school teacher, while 49-year-old Galladé is the school president in Winterthur.
The board members of the Zurich SVP, FDP and Mitte had already announced at the beginning of May that they wanted to work together in the government council elections. They ask their delegates to officially support the nominees of the other two conservative parties in addition to their own candidates.
In the elections of February 12, 2023, the SVP will run with Natalie Rickli and Ernst Stocker and the center with Silvia Steiner (all so far). The FDP sends Carmen Walker Späh back into the race and Peter Grünenfelder again.
