SVP national councillor Andreas Glarner announced his resignation on Wednesday evening. He will step down from his positions at the end of the year. In addition to his role as national councillor, Glarner is also resigning as president of the SVP Aargau. After eleven years in these positions, he is thus ending his active political career in this capacity.

The announcement took place during a party convention of the SVP Aargau, where Glarner informed attendees of his decision. Prior to his resignation, he had significantly influenced the political landscape at both the cantonal and national levels and regularly made headlines through various controversial actions.

Glarner is primarily recognized in political discussions for his provocative statements and initiatives, which often sparked heated debates. It remains unclear whether and where he will continue to be active after his resignation.
