On Monday evening, the city of St. Gallen corrected the distribution of seats in the city parliament announced on Sunday after the renewal elections by five seats. The reason is an error in the counting. The FDP's seat gain has been turned into a seat loss.
The originally communicated gain of four seats for the FDP became the loss of one seat for the Free Democrats following the correction of the counting error, the electoral office of the city of St. Gallen announced. The SP (+2), SVP (+1), Center (+1) and GLP (+1) benefit from the redistribution of these five seats.
The SP remains the strongest party with 18 seats, including the Juso. The SVP and FDP, including the Young Liberals, now have 10 seats each, while the fourth strongest party is the Center Party with 9 seats.
According to the results presented on Sunday evening, the FDP, Center Party and SVP would have had a majority in the 63-member parliament again after eight years.
