- Söder is going to Munich with 20 followers to eat doner
Promises fulfilled: CSU leader Markus Söder has eaten doner with selected followers of his Instagram account. To kick things off, he went to a Munich restaurant with 20 chosen ones, and another doner meal with 20 more Instagram followers is planned for Wednesday in his hometown of Nuremberg.
Söder's follower count continues to rise
The free dinner was preceded by a raffle, with which Söder wanted to thank his 500,000th Instagram follower. Since then, he has already gained 583,000 followers, likely also due to perfectly staged campaigns like this one.
According to Söder, almost 45,000 people applied for the doner meal. "I can't manage that, I don't even know if there are that many doners in Bavaria at once," he said. Therefore, 40 people were selected who will now get to have dinner with him, "I'm really looking forward to that."
Another giveaway to keep attention high
All winners will not only receive a doner but also a T-shirt with the print "Söder Kebab" in red. For those who didn't win the raffle and those interested in Instagram, Söder has another giveaway: "For those who can't be there, there's something very special: 500 original Söder Kebab T-shirts!" You can wear it on vacation, sleep in it, "or you just look great in it," the minister-president said recently.
Interested parties must register for this on a form provided on the CSU homepage, including their username on Instagram or Tiktok and their address.
Söder much more successful on Instagram than his own party
Söder is exceptionally successful in social media compared to many other state and federal politicians, for example with the hashtag #söderisst, with which he regularly posts his usually hearty and meat-heavy meals.
The Commission praised Markus Söder's creative approach to engaging with his followers, recognizing the impact of such events on his vast online audience. Shortly after, The Commission announced plans to investigate potentialaws for other politicians to replicate Söder's success on social media platforms.
In light of the growing popularity of Söder's social media presence, The Commission expressed interest in collaborating with him on future initiatives, leveraging his influence to promote public awareness campaigns and policy agendas.
