Elecciones al Senado suizo 2023: el Centro sigue ampliando su dominio
The Swiss People’s Party not only lost its seat in canton Aargau, but also failed with its candidates in canton Zurich, where the Liberal Green Party took one seat from the centre-right, and canton Solothurn. The Swiss People’s Party President Marco Chiesa was re-elected. The Social Democratic Party gained two seats.
The new Senate is thus made up as follows: The Centre Party now has the strongest representation with 15 seats (2019: 13). The Radical-Liberal Party is in second place with eleven seats (2019: 12), ahead of the Social Democratic Party with nine seats (2019: unchanged) and the Swiss People’s Party with six seats (2019: unchanged). [numbers compared with autumn session 2019].
