Bundespräsidentenwahl: NRW-CDU nominiert Günther Jauch für Bundesversammlung

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in North Rhine-Westphalia has nominated television presenter Günther Jauch to represent the party in the upcoming Federal Convention. The Federal Convention is set to elect a new Federal President or Federal President on January 30th. Ilse Aigner is also running for the highest state office on behalf of the Union.

Jauch has been actively involved in social, religious, cultural and monument preservation projects for years, the NRW-CDU announced in a statement on the eve of the nomination. The CDU has nominated a total of 21 individuals for the Federal Convention, including entrepreneur President Arndt Kirchhoff, former Bundestag President Norbert Lammert, and Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger.

The CDU parliamentary group in the Düsseldorf Landtag can still select 31 more people, bringing the total to 52 representatives. Other political factions are also allowed to nominate members, depending on their size. Alongside well-known figures, there will likely be many Landtag deputies in the selection.
