State Elections in Saxony-Anhalt: Sven Schulze - "Don't just talk, I deliver"

Sven Schulze, the CDU candidate, ran a personalized campaign for Minister President of Saxony-Anhalt, presenting himself as "a prime minister for all". He engaged with citizens and entrepreneurs, appearing at various events, including talk shows and early morning meetings at Magdeburg train station. Schulze took over as Minister President from Reiner Haseloff in January and had only seven months to build his profile before the election.

He has a long-standing ambition to become Minister President, having progressed through various roles, including local politics, the state chair of the Young Union, and a European Parliamentarian. Schulze is a fan of football and handball, and enjoys rock music and Milchreis.
