The Swiss People's Party (SVP) emerged as the winner in the 2019 National Council elections in the canton of Fribourg. The party regained its second seat, which it had lost in 2019, with the election of Nicolas Kolly to the Grand Council. The Social Democratic Party (SP) lost its second seat, with Ursula Schneider Schüttel not being re-elected. The SVP's victory in the canton of Fribourg is a significant one, as it has been a stronghold of the SP for many years. The result of the election is a clear indication of the changing political landscape in Switzerland, with the SVP continuing to make gains in traditionally left-leaning cantons.
