Köpping: Winning voters with trust and reliability
The SPD's designated lead candidate in Saxony, Petra Köpping, wants to win over voters with trust and reliability. She is convinced that experience will play an important role in the state elections next September, the 65-year-old told the German Press Agency. "In the current crisis-ridden times, people want trust and reliability."
She will be the only candidate for the post at the SPD's state party conference in Neukieritzsch (Leipzig district) on Saturday. In the 2019 state election, the SPD achieved its worst result to date with 7.7 percent of the second votes, compared to 12.4 percent in 2014. In the current coalition, it is the smallest government partner after the CDU and the Greens. Köpping is currently Minister of Social Affairs and Health in the state government.
In the upcoming September elections, Petra Köpping, the SPD's chosen candidate for Saxony, aims to engage voters through trust and reliability, leveraging her experience as a key factor. The importance of trust and reliability is particularly prominent in the current crisis-ridden times, as political parties, including the SPD, strive to gain voter confidence before the elections.
