Populärer Innenminister: Herbert Reul kandidiert erneut für den NRW-Landtag
Herbert Reul will es mit 74 Jahren noch einmal wissen: Nach langem Zögern gibt der NRW-Innenminister seine erneute Bereitschaft zur Kandidatur bekannt und wird einstimmig nominiert.
Düsseldorf/Bergisch Gladbach - NRW's Interior Minister Herbert Reul (CDU) plans to once again run for the state parliament. The CDU district leadership in the Rhineland-Bergisches district has unanimously nominated him according to party sources. At 74 years old, Reul is one of the most popular politicians in NRW. He had until recently remained undecided about whether he would seek re-election.
On Thursday evening, Reul informed his party colleagues of his willingness to run again. "The district leadership expressly welcomes this decision," the statement said that evening. The responsible selection assembly must confirm Reul as a candidate again on October 16th. In the previous state election in 2022, he secured 51.1 percent of the vote in his district.
Former Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) had appointed Reul as Interior Minister in 2017 when he was still a European lawmaker. Known for his tough stance against rock music, Islamists, and criminal members of large families, as well as his modest dress style, Reul gained nationwide recognition.
