The Freie Wähler party has nominated Hubert Aiwanger as their Spitzenkandidat for the upcoming Bundestag elections scheduled for February 23, 2024. Despite currently polling below the critical five-percent threshold nationally, the party aims to secure direct mandates to enter Parliament. Aiwanger, the Bavarian Minister of Economy, received over 93% support for his leadership and emphasized the need for a robust migration policy, criticizing past government strategies. The party seeks to collaborate with the CDU to achieve governmental inclusion and capitalize on their recent successes in regional elections.
