CDU's chosen one: Osef Oster
In a significant development, Josef Oster, a member of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has been elected as the party's candidate for the Bundestag election in 2025. The election took place at the CDU district delegates' assembly held on Monday evening at Haus Horchheimer Höhe in Koblenz.
The voting, conducted in secret, saw Oster secure an impressive 97% of the votes, with 68 out of 70 delegates from the three CDU district associations – CDU Koblenz, CDU Mayen-Koblenz, and CDU Rhein-Lahn – expressing their support. The prolonged applause from the delegates predicted the outcome of the election.
Oster, who has served as a Bundestag member, has stated his desire to help retire the current federal government and support Friedrich Merz as the next chancellor. He also emphasised the importance of further support for Ukraine, both for Ukraine's sake and Germany's own interest.
CDU chairperson of the Rhein-Lahn district, Matthias Lammert, praised Oster's work in the Bundestag since 2017. Oster's plans for the new CDU-led federal government include a focus on order, control, and guidance of migration, competitive energy prices, reducing bureaucracy, investing in security, boosting the economy, and re-establishing respect for society's performers.
One of Oster's key goals is the reduction of extreme party approval ratings.
