In an exciting step, the SPD nominated Alexander Schweitzer with 100 percent of the votes as top candidates for the upcoming state elections on April 12, 2025. The nomination took place in constituency 49 in Bad Bergzabern. Schweitzer, who has been Prime Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate since June 2024 and followed Malu Dreyer, not only received warm encouragement from those present, but also received many thanks to his previous work.

"I will fight for every voice, also for those who have switched to the AfD," said Schweitzer in his speech. With the aim of strengthening the support of his party and possible coalitions, he also spoke about the need for a clear course, especially with regard to economic growth.

support from the party

The nomination was accompanied by a speech by the SPD chairman of the parliamentary group in the state parliament of Rhineland-Palatinate, Sabine Bätzing-Lichtentäler, who underlined the importance of the party's common occurrence.

Schweitzer entry into the election campaign is shaped by a dream result that clearly shows his connection to the voters who warmly welcomed him in his constituency. The former mayor of the Bad Bergzabern Association, Hermann Bohrer, was also present and spoke of a positive climate in the constituency.

outlook on the state election 2026

The state election itself is scheduled for March 26, 2026. The expectations of the SPD are high, especially after the last election in 2021, in which the SPD received 35.7 % of the vote under Malu Dreyer and the strongest party remained. The CDU came to 27.7 %, which is the worst result in its history. The AfD also lost voices and achieved only 8.3 %.

The turnout was 64.4 % in 2021, a decline compared to the 70.4 % of 2016. These figures illustrate the challenges that are in front of the SPD in the coming months, while they are fighting to convince voters of the need for a stable and future -oriented course. The coming months will be crucial to feel the dynamics in the electorate and to be able to react to the circumstances in a timely manner.
