Landtagswahl Sachsen-Anhalt: Sven Schulze - „Labere nicht nur, ich liefere“
Rockmusik, Milchreis und Gespräche mit Pendlern: Der Spitzenkandidat der CDU gab sich im Wahlkampf gern hemdsärmelig und als jemand der anpackt.
In the Saxon-Anhalt Landtag election, Sven Schulze was the focal point of the CDU campaign, with posters proclaiming "a Minister President for all". His tireless campaigning extended late into the evening, when he could be found in talk shows, and early each morning, when he was already meeting pendlers at the Magdeburg train station.
Schulze and AfD's top candidate Ulrich Siegmund had multiple direct confrontations, with Schulze declaring "I dig, I deliver" during an MDR election arena. Throughout the past months, Schulze had been traversing Sachsen-Anhalt, adopting a casual demeanor. He boldly stated that he was one of the locals, while others merely discussed problems - he acted.
In 2021, Schulze served as CDU Landesvorsteher, negotiating a coalition with SPD and FDP. Subsequently, he became Minister of Economy before taking over from Reiner Haseloff (CDU) in January 2026 at the State Chancellery, with only seven months left to build his reputation and profile. The 47-year-old had diligently pursued a classic political career, starting from local politics to serving in the European Parliament.
Initially, Schulze worked as a sales manager at university, and is now a football and handball fan, passionately supporting local Magdeburger teams and Borussia Dortmund, as well as enjoying milk beer and rock music. Occasionally, while on the phone, Schulze could be seen playing with a ball in the office.
