Sowohl Wahlkreiskandidaten als auch Landeslisten müssen von Parteiversammlungen demokratisch bestimmt werden. Und das braucht gewisse Zeit für die Vorbereitung.
Im Bundeswahlgesetz steht: Wahlvorschläge für die Wahlkreise und Landeslisten der Parteien sind spätestens am 69. Tag vor der Wahl schriftlich einzureichen. Im Anschluss muss der Bundeswahlausschuss über die Zulassung der Wahlvorschläge entscheiden.
Die politischen Turbulenzen in Berlin wirken sich auch auf die Parteien in München aus. Während die FDP demonstrativ Gelassenheit zeigt, geben sich die Grünen kämpferisch – und der OB rückt von Olaf Scholz ab.

Die 45-jährige Weidel erreicht damit den Zenit ihrer politischen Laufbahn. Weidel zog es erst deutlich nach ihrem dreissigsten Geburtstag in die Politik. Zuvor war sie unter anderem bei einer Vermögensverwaltung tätig. Sie ist lesbisch und mit einer Frau liiert, die aus Sri Lanka stammt. Das Paar hat zwei Kinder und lebt in der Schweiz.
Nach dem Bruch der Ampelkoalition wollen die Grünen den amtierenden Vizekanzler und Wirtschaftsminister Robert Habeck als Kanzlerkandidaten aufstellen. Laut Informationen des ARD-Hauptstadtstudios will der 55-Jährige dies heute erklären.
Donald J. Trump plans to name his former rival, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard, a one-time Democrat, as honorary co-chairs of a presidential transition team that will help him select the policies and personnel of any second Trump administration, according to a campaign senior adviser.
Mr. Kennedy, who ended his independent campaign for president and endorsed Mr. Trump on Friday, described his transition role briefly in an interview that aired Monday.
„As President Trumps’s broad coalition of supporters and endorsers expands across partisan lines, we are proud that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard have been added to the Trump/Vance Transition team,“ Trump campaign senior advisor Brian Hughes told Fox News Digital.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s sister and human rights activist Kerry Kennedy joins CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and shares her reaction to her brother announcing that he is suspending his campaign and endorsing former President Donald Trump.
Hallo. Schön, dass Sie hier sind.
Ich bin Petra Köpping, Spitzenkandidatin der SPD Sachsen zur Landtagswahl. Ich begrüße Sie und euch auf der Website der SPD Sachsen. Hier gibt es alle Informationen zur SPD in Sachsen und natürlich zu den anstehenden Wahlen.
Minuten vor der Attacke auf Ecke attackierte laut Polizei bereits eine vierköpfige Gruppe einen Wahlkampfhelfer der Grünen ebenfalls beim Plakatieren. Die Täter schlugen und traten ihn, auch der 28-Jährige wurde verletzt. Die Ermittler des Staatsschutzes gehen aufgrund der übereinstimmenden Personenbeschreibungen sowie der zeitlichen und örtlichen Nähe davon aus, dass es sich in beiden Fällen um dieselben Täter handelt.
Saleh hat die Politik der SPD in den vergangenen Jahren maßgeblich gestaltet und die Partei auch in das schwarz-rote Bündnis geführt.
Die SPD-Mitglieder hätten gegen eine „Weiter so“ entschieden, kommentierte Hikel das Ergebnis am Samstag. Das Ergebnis sei ein Einschnitt und bringe die Partei in eine „neue Ära der Sozialdemokratie“. Ähnlich äußerte sich seine Co-Bewerberin Böcker-Giannini, die an die Einigkeit der Partei appellierte.

So stellten Hikel und Böcker-Giannini etwa das kostenlose Kita-Essen für alle Kinder infrage, Niroomand und Bertels sprachen sich hier gegen Änderungen aus.
Raised on welfare in a single-parent household in Oakland, California, the daughter of a Chinese immigrant, Shanahan went from a successful career as a patent lawyer and entrepreneur to marrying into uber-wealth after meeting Google co-founder Sergey Brin at a yoga festival. The two divorced in 2022, amid reports that she had had an affair with Brin’s friend and fellow tech titan, Elon Musk. (Shanahan and Musk deny the allegations.)
Like so many others who have amassed a fortune from the tech sector, Shanahan has become a philanthropic force but also a political player.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce Bay Area attorney and entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan as his running mate Tuesday, The New York Times reported, citing two people close to the campaign.
The move will accelerate Kennedy‘s attempt to gain ballot access in as many states as possible.
„Durch Neuwahlen würde nach meiner persönlichen Einschätzung vor allem viel Zeit ins Land gehen durch eine Hängepartie, Wahlkampf und wachsende Unsicherheiten“, sagte der Präsident der Deutschen Industrie- und Handelskammer (DIHK), Peter Adrian, der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters.
„Es braucht nicht noch mehr Unruhe durch Neuwahlen, sondern eine Regierung, die sich der Realität stellt“, warnte auch der Präsident des Bundesverbandes Großhandel, Außenhandel, Dienstleistungen (BGA), Dirk Jandura.
Im September werden in Sachsen, Thüringen und Brandenburg die Landtage neu gewählt.
Erst am Wochenende hatte Nordrhein-Westfalens Ministerpräsident Hendrik Wüst (CDU) die Union vor verfrühten Debatten über die Kanzlerkandidatur gewarnt – und ein Bekenntnis zu Merz vermieden.
For democracy to function, the public must know that elections, and not violence, will decide who takes public office. That is why the United States has granted Secret Service protection to all major Presidential candidates.
Last Wednesday, for the second time this election season, an intruder entered Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s home in Los Angeles. He had written hundreds of emails to the campaign, which were included in its application for Secret Service protection, one of which made mention of a „bullet in [Mr. Kennedy‘s] brain.“ A month earlier, a man had showed up to one of Mr. Kennedy‘s campaign events carrying loaded weapons and posing as a U.S. Marshal.
In both cases, the individuals were apprehended by Mr. Kennedy‘s private security detail and turned over to the police. But the incidents demonstrate the necessity for Secret Service protection for Mr. Kennedy. Withholding protection puts him and members of the public who attend campaign events at risk. Furthermore, it would be incredibly destabilizing for our nation if another Kennedy came to harm in the course of Presidential politics.

Scalise won a closed-door secret ballot vote to be the House GOP’s new candidate for speaker on Wednesday afternoon. However, it quickly became clear that he did not have the 217 votes needed to win a House-wide vote.
Former President Donald Trump endorsed Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan’s bid for speaker of the House Friday.
In a post on Truth Social shortly after midnight, Trump said Jordan “will be a GREAT Speaker of the House, & has my Complete & Total Endorsement!”

Mr. Kennedy, in a video released by his campaign, teased a “major announcement” in Philadelphia on Oct. 9, promising to speak about “a sea change in American politics” and dropping clues that he would be continuing his presidential campaign outside the Democratic Party.
“How are we going to win against the established Washington interests?” Mr. Kennedy says in the video. “It’s not through playing the game by the corrupt rules that the corrupt powers and the vested interests have rigged to keep us all in their thrall. Instead, we’re going to have to rewrite the assumptions and change the habits of American politics.”

Two polls of the 2024 presidential race released on Sunday showed former President Donald J. Trump cruising through the Republican primary — and a general election between two unpopular candidates if, as seems likely, the nominees are Mr. Trump and President Biden.
Jordan told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Tuesday evening that several colleagues have approached him about the speakership. He said he’ll talk to the House Republican Conference about the job over the next week.
“I think it’s a conference decision,” Jordan said.

Representative Jim Jordan, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee and an ally of former President Donald Trump, was nominated by some Republican rebels to be the speaker during the election to the seat in January. He received 20 votes during one round of voting. (…)
Representative Patrick McHenry was named to step in as speaker pro tempore following McCarthy‘s ouster. Chair of the House Financial Services Committee, McHenry is a McCarthy ally who spoke in support of McCarthy prior to the vote.
Scheduling this trial is particularly complicated since Trump is a defendant in three other criminal cases. In New York — where Trump faces state charges related to repayment of hush money given to an adult-film star during the 2016 presidential campaign — a judge also set the trial date for March 2024.
Trump’s federal trial in Florida is set to begin in May 2024.
That means that Trump could become the presumptive GOP nominee in the 2024 presidential election at the same time as his lawyers are in court for his trial for seeking to steal the last election. Neither political scientists nor legal scholars have really anticipated such a scenario, so no technical term exists to describe it, but I can suggest one: a huge mess.
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara rejected the idea, noting that it would violate Arab citizens’ democratic rights.
One of the four victims killed earlier tonight in Abu Snan was running in the upcoming race. The director of Tira gunned down last night was also targeted in a dispute related to the upcoming election.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, whose ministry oversees the police, published a post on his Facebook account on Wednesday morning calling Arab armed gangs “terrorist organizations” with “huge budgets and hundreds of thousands of weapons at their disposal, including millions of bullets, explosive charges, and grenade launchers.”
Ben Gvir warned that such “militias” will soon direct their attacks against the State of Israel, and called once again for the establishment of a national guard to prevent local crime.

Four men were shot at point-blank range. Among them was Ghazi Sa’ab, a well-known member of the community, a former border police officer, and a candidate for the head of the local council.
Police say the quadruple murder was planned in advance, carried out only two hours after Sa’ab launched his municipal campaign. The four victims were standing in an olive grove near one of the entrances to the town when a squad of assassins drove up to them, exited the car, and shot them.
The snap election was called after President Guillermo Lasso – a conservative former banker – dissolved parliament to avoid impeachment.
Sunday‘s voting was peaceful, much to the relief of Ecuadoreans fearful of the political violence that has taken hold of the country.
Days after Villavicencio’s murder, a left-wing local party official, Pedro Briones, was shot dead in Esmeraldas province.
Gunfire interrupted Noboa’s caravan on Thursday as he was traveling in Guayas province, but authorities say the presidential candidate was not the target of the incident.

Im Mittelpunkt der Proteste standen die fortgesetzten Angriffe der Staatsanwaltschaft auf die sozialdemokratische Partei Movimiento Semilla, die überraschend bei den Wahlen am 25. Juni den zweiten Platz erreicht hatte. Sie tritt mit ihrem Kandidaten Bernardo Arévalo zur Stichwahl für die Präsidentschaft am kommenden Sonntag gegen Sandra Torres von der Partei „Einheit der Nationalen Hoffnung“ (UNE) an.
Mitte Juli hatte die siebte Strafkammer in Guatemala-Stadt nach Ermittlungen der Sonderstaatsanwaltschaft angekündigt, die Partei Semilla wegen angeblicher Unregelmäßigkeiten bei den Mitgliederlisten auszuschließen. Zwar hob das Verfassungsgericht den Beschluss wenige Tage später auf, allerdings nur für den laufenden Wahlprozess. Eine Klage von Semilla wies das Verfassungsgericht zurück, so dass der Prozess der Suspendierung der Partei weiterhin offen ist.
Opinion polls had put him in the middle of the pack of the eight candidates, far behind the frontrunner Luisa González.

As he gets into the back seat of the vehicle, at least 12 gunshots can be heard. A policeman quickly closes the door behind Villavicencio and many people are seen taking cover from the gunfire, including his security detail.
CNN has asked authorities for more details.
One of the first to release a statement was former CIA spy and former Rep. Will Hurd of Texas, a long-shot for the nomination and a very vocal GOP Trump critic.
„Let me be crystal clear: Trump‘s presidential bid is driven by an attempt to stay out of prison and scam his supporters into footing his legal bills. Furthermore, his denial of the 2020 election results and actions on Jan. 6 show he‘s unfit for office,“ Hurd wrote.
