Some confident of victory, others between fear and hope – the parties in the north are going into the final sprint of the election campaign in different moods.
Two days before the state elections in Schleswig-Holstein, the parties once again vigorously campaigned for votes.
The SPD, led by top candidate Thomas Losse-Müller, expected Chancellor Olaf Scholz to attend a rally in Kiel on Friday afternoon. Prime Minister Daniel Günther from the CDU had appointments in Nortorf and Laboe in the program. In Kiel, the climate movement Fridays for Future underpinned its demands on state politics with a rally and a demonstration in the afternoon.
CDU is ahead in polls
The polls put the CDU far ahead of the SPD and the Greens with up to 38 percent. Both were tied at 18 percent in a ZDF “Politbarometer Extra” published on Thursday evening. The polls consistently predict a secure majority for a possible coalition between the CDU and the Greens.
It would be closer, but conceivable for an alliance of CDU and FDP. According to the polls, a coalition led by the SPD or the Greens seems unlikely. Since 2017, the CDU, Greens and FDP have governed together in the north.
The top candidates of the Greens, Monika Heinold and Aminata Touré, asked Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck to join them for the late afternoon in Neumünster. Heinold was also on a campaign tour in Gettorf and Kiel on Friday, followed by Rendsburg and Bad Malente on Saturday.
The FDP with top candidate Bernd Buchholz is also counting on the support of the party chairman, Federal Minister of Finance Christian Lindner, in the final spurt of the election campaign – with joint appointments on Friday in Flensburg and Neumünster. On Saturday it should continue in Kiel and Lübeck.
Günther becomes a night owl
On the day before the election, Günther and Losse-Müller also worked hard. The Prime Minister will be on the road in his native Eckernförde and in Gettorf, among other places. Later Günther becomes a night owl: at 10 p.m. a young voters’ party is to start with him in Kiel.
Losse-Müller wants to promote himself and his party by distributing flyers in Eckernförde from 7 a.m. In the constituency there, he and Günther also compete against each other as direct candidates. Losse-Müller has scheduled a pub crawl in Eckernförde until 10 p.m.
