Cédric Wermuth Aargau candidacy status

Overview

Cédric Wermuth, co-president of the Swiss Social Democratic Party (SP), announced plans to relocate from Zofingen to Lucerne in the summer of 2027 to be closer to family. He clarified that he intends to continue representing the canton of Aargau in the National Council, noting that the Swiss Federal Constitution does not mandate residency in the represented canton.

On November 7, Aargau party delegates gave unanimous approval for Wermuth to run for the National Council in the autumn 2027 federal elections. He is set to appear second on the Aargau list. This potential fifth term follows a previous April vote by delegates to grant him an exception to the party’s twelve-year term limit for parliamentary mandates.
