The right-wing Swiss People's Party , Switzerland's biggest political party, will increase its share of the vote to 29 per cent, 3.4 percentage points higher than the last election in 2019, according to early projections by Swiss broadcaster SRF.
It has also picked up votes from people concerned about the slowing economy and the rising cost of living, pollsters GFS Bern said. In contrast, the Greens were expected to see their share of the votes fall by 4.1 percentage points to 9.1 per cent. "Four years ago, people were a bit more idealistic and progressive, which explained why the Greens did well, but now people are more concerned about security and are more conservative again," said Michael Hermann, a political analyst at pollsters Sotomo.
