Berlin According to the Hessian Prime Minister Boris Rhein, “I am faced with a real choice of direction: a clear course or left-wing chaos,” said the CDU politician. CDU top candidate Stefan Evers, as finance senator and former general secretary, is “exactly the right candidate for a successful, fast-track election campaign.”

In recent years, Berlin has achieved a turnaround with Evers as senator after the red-red-green election chaos. Now it’s about moving the federal capital forward, said Rhinewho is also the CDU state leader in Hesse.

A good two months before the election to the House of Representatives, the Berliners want to CDU exchange their top candidate. After Kai Wegner’s withdrawal, Finance Senator Evers is to take over. The CDU state executive committee must make the final decision.
