New elections in Main-Kinzig: Is the SPD really in danger?
New elections in Main-Kinzig: Is the SPD really in danger?
The Bundestag election will take place on February 23, 2025. The constituency 174, which consists of parts of the Main-Kinzig district, Wetteraukreis and Vogelsberg district, has around 178,000 citizens entitled to vote. In the current parliamentary term, Bettina Müller from the SPD, which won the direct mandate in 2021, no longer competed. Your decision is made against the background of an early election, which was necessary after the dismissal of finance minister Christian Lindner by Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The choice was originally scheduled for September 28, 2025.Current surveys show that the Union is ahead, followed by the AfD, the SPD and the Greens. The FDP and the Left Party see themselves in a tense situation and could possibly fail at the five percent hurdle. Against the background of these political developments, all parties in Hesse have an increase in new members, while the party donations, in particular from the CDU and the FDP, have also increased. The BMW heirs Klatten and Quandt each donated 50.001 euros to the CDU.
candidates for the Bundestag election 2025
Several candidates have set up in constituency 174. The SPD candidate Michael Neuner competes, while Johannes Wiegelmann from the CDU is the only remaining candidate from the last election campaign 2021. Other applicants are Philip Schinkel for the Greens, Dr. Markus Alexander Schmidt (FDP), Jürgen Mohn (AfD), Helge Fitz (Die Linke), Liam Ulrich (Free Voters), Samuel Mergenthal (Volt) and Marco Groh (Bündnis Germany).
Voters can hand in two votes in this election: one first vote for a direct candidate and a second vote for a party. The election time extends on election day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the counting of the votes begins immediately after the polling stations are closed. Interested citizens have the opportunity to track the count live in the Main-Kinzig-Forum. The results of the electoral circles 174 and 179 are presented in the BarbarossaSaal and are then available online on the pages of the federal election management and the Main-Kinzig district.
preparation and implementation of the election
The district election committee already checked and approved all submitted proposals on January 24th. Numerous election workers are required to carry out the election, and many volunteers have already registered. Due to shortened deadlines, there will only be two weeks for postal voting, and the election notifications will be sent in the fourth calendar week. The deadline for applying for postal voting ends on February 2, 2025.
The Bundestag election 2025 will play a crucial role in influencing the political direction of Germany. Almost 59.2 million Germans are entitled to vote, and the results are pursued both at the constituency level and at the level of the 11,000 municipalities. Constituency 174 can be seen as a microcosm of current political trends in Germany.
