Top Candidate: Boris Rhein Says Berlin Faces 'A Real Directional Election'

Hessian Prime Minister Boris Rhein believes Berlin stands at a critical juncture, facing what he terms a "real directional election." He characterized the choice as between a "clear course or left-wing chaos." Rhein expressed strong support for the CDU's top candidate for the Berlin House of Representatives election, Stefan Evers, describing him as the ideal choice for leading a "successful, quick directional election campaign."

Rhein, who also leads the CDU in Hesse, asserted that under Evers's tenure as Finance Senator, Berlin has begun to reverse negative trends that followed the "red-green" coalition's electoral missteps. He emphasized that the current priority is to propel the capital city forward.

The Berlin CDU is reportedly planning to replace Kai Wegner with Finance Senator Evers as their lead candidate for the election, which is scheduled for just over two months away. This decision, however, still requires final approval from the CDU state executive board. Evers's potential candidacy marks a significant shift as the party seeks to regain momentum in the capital.
