the essentials in brief

National Council elections will take place in Switzerland on October 22, 2023. In the canton of Zurich, an essayist is applying with Saida Keller-Messahli. In the canton of Vaud, a former European judo champion dreams of the National Council.

The essayist and founder of the Forum for a Progressive Islam, Saida Keller-Messahli, is running for the National Council in the canton of Zurich. The European judo champion and Olympic bronze medalist Sergei Aschwanden is doing the same thing in the canton of Vaud.

Keller-Messahli confirmed a corresponding message from the “Sonntagsblick” on the short message service X (formerly Twitter). She is running on a list called Ethical Entrepreneurs and Leaders.

Aschwanden belongs to the FDP and sits on the Grand Council of Vaud. He feels like an atypical politician because he focuses on tourism and sports policy. “But I think that politics needs more and more specialists.” Aschwanden said that in an interview with the “Sonntagszeitung”.
