Markus Söder has been re-elected as the leader of the CSU, securing 83.6 percent of the votes, which marks his lowest approval rating in past elections. Despite receiving 531 out of 635 valid votes, over 100 delegates voted against him, indicating a degree of discontent within the party.
In his address, Söder acknowledged the challenges facing citizens and attributed his performance to factors such as public uncertainty and recent policy decisions. He emphasized the need for resilience against internal and external threats, while also defending his stance on various social policies.
The atmosphere at the party congress was marked by surprise and disappointment, reflecting the mixed feelings surrounding his leadership. Notably, Söder’s deputy candidates garnered higher support, further highlighting the party's divided sentiments.
Nevertheless, he remains committed to steering the CSU forward, advocating for democratic values in the face of rising radicalism.
