Elections 2023: Swiss parliament shifts to the right
This content was published on
Final results for the 2023 Swiss federal elections show that the Swiss parliament will be more right-wing and less green.
The centre-right Radical-Liberal Party and the Center Party would have maintained their results of 14.3% and 14.1%, respectively. In contrast, the left-wing Green Party would have dipped to 9.5% (-0.5) and the Green Liberals would also have fallen to 6.6% (-1).
The survey was based on information from 4,467 eligible voters who took part in an online survey between October 28 and November 11. The data was then weighted so that it is representative of the active voting population. According to Sotomo, the survey is comparable to a random sample with a sampling error of +/-1.5 percentage points.
