Würth was thus repeating a statement he had already made in an interview with the Tamedia newspapers last July.

The topic of the Federal Council is ticked off for him. He feels extremely comfortable in his current political and professional duties and will continue to pursue them with great commitment. "I will therefore not be running for the vacant seat on the Federal Council," Würth is quoted as saying in a statement from his party.
