FDP brings a breath of fresh air: Dario Roth is running for local council!

Something is happening in Kaiseraugst - after 17 years on the local council, Hanspeter Meyer is drawing his conclusions and is not running for re-election. This means a breath of fresh air in the political landscape, as the general elections are just around the corner. These will take place in autumn 2025 and promise a lot of excitement, especially on the part of the FDP, which nominated Dario Roth as its official candidate on June 5th. Roth, who is only 30 years old, has been actively involved in politics since 2021 and now wants to win a place on the local council for the FDP. His political career began a few years ago in Port (BE), where he was a member of the building and school commission.

Roth brings a wide range of experience. In addition to his role as co-president of the Promembro association, where he advocates for the needs of amputees, he also has a background in military leadership as a captain in a mountain infantry battalion. He works in the IT department of a renowned chemical company and is currently pursuing a part-time MBA degree at the FHNW.

A modern approach to politics

Dario Roth's political orientation is described as modern and solution-oriented. He speaks several languages ​​- German, French, English and Spanish - and is therefore well versed in appealing to different population groups. It remains to be seen whether and how these skills will impact his election chances.

Interesting parallels can also be drawn with the upcoming municipal council elections in Meran, which will take place on May 4, 2025. The candidates for the mayor's office have already formed here. Dario Dal Medico, the incumbent mayor, is entering the race with a three-party alliance. However, the competition should not be underestimated, especially from Italian list alliances such as Fratelli d'Italia and the Lega, which are trying to win votes.

Voter turnout – an important issue

As current statistics show, voter turnout has fallen steadily in recent years. Almost half of those eligible to vote stay away from such events, which calls into question the legitimacy of the elected politicians. It is all the more important that candidates like Dario Roth and Dario Dal Medico, who represent a breath of fresh air and change, mobilize voters. It is hoped that voter turnout will increase this year to send a strong message of democracy.

Overall, there are many indications that the political elections in the region will bring both exciting developments and major challenges. The citizens of Kaiseraugst and Meran can look forward to an intensive election campaign that could have a significant impact on the political future.
