In the recent municipal elections in Horn, Karolin Halter from the middle of the party has successfully defended an important seat in the local council. The 47-year-old candidate, who has both Swiss and Swedish citizenship, won 503 votes on Sunday. With this number of votes, it clearly exceeded the required majority of 473 votes. Your choice is particularly important because she takes the place of Michael Glanzmann, who left the local council after eleven years after eleven years.

owner who is married and has three children moved into the committee in early 2025. Despite the strong voter share of the Swiss People's Party (SVP) of 26 percent during the last major council elections, this was unable to regain its seat in the local council. Vreni Jordi, who ran for the SVP, only achieved 404 votes and failed for the holder by 99 votes.

political constellation in Horn

The SVP, which is the strongest political force in the Thurgau exclave Horn, has not been represented in the local council since the resignation of its local party president Niels Möller at the end of 2021. The fact that she could not win in these elections surprises many, especially since Jordi worked for 16 years in the auditing commission and has lived in the community for 35 years. Halter, on the other hand, only moved to Horn with her family a few years ago.

The turnout was 45.79 percent, which indicates a lively interest of the citizens in political decisions, although the outcome of the election was open and was not clear to a clear favorite. The compilation of the local council changes with the choice of owner: In the future, the advice of Thierry Kurtzemann (FDP, Presidium), Vera Tettananti (independent), Beda Fischer (FDP), Andreas Bischof (center) and Karolin Halter (middle).

The choice of Karolin Halter thus represents an important step for the middle that strengthens its influence in local politics, while the SVP continues to be hoping for a return to the seat. More details on this topic can be found in a detailed report on www.tagblatt.ch .
