Already nine local departments dump party name: CD&V “scores dramatically”, is “not sexy” and “is in the way of expansion” | Interior

CD&V still gets 9.7 percent in the most recent poll and local departments fear that such a dramatic score will reflect on their popularity. At least nine departments are already going to the municipal elections next year under a different name, a dozen others are considering it. “With almost 35 percent, the voters rewarded us for our local policy and that is a stark contrast to the current CD&V poll,” says Vosselaar.
