  "account": "North Rhine-Westphalia's Interior Minister Herbert Reul has suffered a hip fracture, causing his party's plans for the state election to be disrupted. Reul was set to be nominated as a direct candidate in the Rheinisch-Bergischen Kreis on Thursday, but the nomination meeting has been postponed. The decision was made unanimously by the party's executive board after consulting with Reul, and the new goal is to hold the nomination meeting before Christmas. Reul, who won 51.1 percent of the vote in the 2022 state election, is currently the only CDU candidate for the direct mandate in the constituency. He underwent surgery on the evening of the accident and has vowed to be patient and train during his recovery.",
  "summary": "After his fall, North Rhine-Westphalia Interior Minister Herbert Reul has to take a break. The CDU is therefore even postponing the nomination of their direct candidate in the Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis.",
