Carstenträger: Bavaria's SPD is fighting for voters' favor!
The Bavarian SPD has currently reached a new high point: Carstenträger, an experienced member of the Bundestag, is leading the state list of Social Democrats in the early federal elections on February 23, 2024. At the state representative meeting in Bamberg, the 51-year-old received a whopping 81 percent of the delegate votes. Carrier, who comes from the SPD stronghold of Fürth and has been a member of the Bundestag for eleven years, is an important representative of the Bavarian state group, together with his co-chair Carolin Wagner. This comes in eighth place on the state list. Despite previous successes with 23 mandates in the Bundestag and a score of 18 percent in the 2021 election, the situation for the SPD in Bavaria currently looks bleak; According to the current “Bayerntrend”, the party is only at 9 percent. Whether all MPs will be able to move in again remains questionable, he had warned, and assured: “We will surprise many more naysayers,” like them Allgäu newspaper reported.
