Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst has been elected the top candidate of the North Rhine-Westphalian CDU for the state elections on May 15 with a large majority.

At a meeting in Essen, the delegates elected the CDU state chairman with 99.1 percent of the 235 valid votes in first place on the state list.

Accordingly, there were 233 yes and two no votes.

Essen – The 46-year-old did not have an opponent.

The Secretary General of the NRW-CDU, Josef Hovenjürgen, said: "That should be tailwind for May 15." Wüst had achieved the best result of a top candidate of the NRW-CDU since at least the year 2000.

The state list draws if a party is entitled to more seats in the state parliament than it has won direct mandates or if a member of the state parliament resigns and a successor can therefore move into parliament.

In several previous state elections, the list hardly played a role for the NRW-CDU.

In the 2017 NRW state elections, the CDU won all of its 72 mandates directly in the constituencies.
