Samuel Krähenbühl | Markus Ritter - The farmer strategist
Markus Ritter is considered one of the most influential Swiss politicians of our time. He has represented the canton of St. Gallen for the centrist party in the National Council since 2011 and has been President of the Swiss Farmers' Union (SBA) since 2012. "Hardly anyone in Bern is as powerful as him" - according to a headline in the Handelszeitung. "Farmers' President Markus Ritter, the most powerful man in Bern..." wrote Blick. "He wins battle after battle for the farmers" wrote the NZZ. He stepped into the breach when the MPs from the center of parliament canceled one after the other in the 2025 Federal Council replacement election. This was despite the fact that he had never actually aspired to this office before. Markus Ritter is considered one of the most influential Swiss politicians of our time.
